I didn't 'decide' to write YA, per se. But every time I thought of a story, it featured characters 15, 16, 17.

More quotes by Sara Zarr
My books usually end where they began. I try to bring characters back to a point that is familiar but different because of the growth that they have gone through.
Sara Zarr
Ethan couldn’t possibly understand it, what Cameron and I meant to each other and how different it was from anything like a romance or a crush.
Sara Zarr
This was a memory I wanted to keep, whole, and recall again and again. When I was fifty years old I wanted to remember this moment on the porch, holding hands with Cameron while he shared himself with me. I didn’t want it to be something on the fringes of my memory like so many other things about Cameron and myself.
Sara Zarr
I lived too much in my head instead of the real world.
Sara Zarr
He felt it too, the air between us, the invisible lines that something or someone had drawn to connect us. That's the way I remember it.
Sara Zarr
No one measures a life in weeks and days. You measure life in years and by the things that happen to you.
Sara Zarr
My whole life has been one big broken promise.
Sara Zarr
The one thing that could never die or be buried was my loyalty to Cameron for everything he’d done for me and what we’d been through together, even if that loyalty was a ghost.
Sara Zarr
My first job is to write the characters as full and authentic people as well as I can.
Sara Zarr
I'm still going to love you, always. And in the rock-paper-scissors of life, love is rock. fear, anger, everthing else...no contest.
Sara Zarr
My books have been translated into various languages and sold in other countries, but I never have any contact with the foreign publishers and am so disconnected from that process that it seems almost imaginary. With 'How to Save a Life', I worked closely with Usborne editors and have been involved in the publicity.
Sara Zarr
Because love, love is never finished. It circles and circles, the memories out of order and not always complete.
Sara Zarr
I don’t want these memories to become slippery, to just disappear into the thin air of life the way most things seem to. I want them to stick – even the bad ones – so I repeat them often.
Sara Zarr
I tried his cell over and over but he never answered. Then I’d call just to hear his voice on the outgoing message, until eventually that was gone too.
Sara Zarr
It's a jagged thing in my throat, how much I miss her.
Sara Zarr
It makes me think of Lazarus. He must have had those shadows after his miracle. You don't spend time in the tomb without it changing you, and everyone who was waiting for you to come out.
Sara Zarr
I looked at my hand resting on the shelf of the prop cabinet, thinking of the scars that were there whether anyone could see them or not.
Sara Zarr
Life was mostly made up of things you couldn’t control, full of surprises, and they weren’t always good. Life wasn’t what you made it. You were what life made you.
Sara Zarr
What brings two people together anyway?
Sara Zarr
Life needed a fast forward button. Because there were days you just don't want to live through, not again, but they kept coming around and you were powerless to stop time or speed it up or do anything to keep from having to face it.
