Rachel Cohn
I'm liking that I can throw any kind of sentence at her without worrying it's too out there.
Rachel Cohn
This must be part of Mother Nature's master plan—making these boys so irresistibly cute, in such a naughty way, that the purity of their intentions becomes irrelevant.
Rachel Cohn
It's bullshit to think of friendship and romance as being different. They're not. They're just variations of the same love. Variations of the same desire to be close.
