Rainbow Rowell

I go away, into my head, for hours and weeks at a time, and I hate that I miss everything. It's pretty selfish to want to pause other people, isn't it?
Rainbow Rowell
...and his eyes were so green they could turn carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Rainbow Rowell
You act like there are two kinds of girls,' she said. 'The smart ones and the ones that boys like.
