Everyone keeps saying I’ll pick it up. But what if I don’t? I did algebra for three years, and I never picked that up.
Sophie Kinsella
There are some things I don't understand about Jess and never will. No wedding dress. No flowers. No photo album. No champagne. The only thing she got out of her wedding was a husband. (I mean, obviously the husband is the main point when you get married. Absolutely. That goes without saying. But still, not even a new pair of shoes?)

I don't think anyone sits down and thinks, 'I know, I'll be a chick-lit writer.' You write the book that you want to write and then other people say, 'Oh, that's chick-lit.' You say, 'Okay.' But it's not like you look around and go to a careers fair and there will be someone at the chick-lit author stand.

This is a test, isn't it? It's like choosing out of three caskets in a fairy tale. Everyone knows the rules. You never choose the gold shiny one. Or even the quite impressive silver one. What you're supposed to do is choose the dull little lead one, and then there's a flash of light and it turns into a mountain of jewels

Jeez Louise. I know why rich people are so thin: it's from trekking around their humongous houses the whole time.

I need good coffee! I say in horror. It's my only luxury! I can't live with my parents and drink bad coffee. It's not humanly possible. Becky talking about cutting back with her parents.

If I worked at White Globe Consulting, I wouldn't be able to do my job. I would spend all day texting the other people in the office, asking them what was going on today and had they heard anything new and what did they think was going to happen. Hmm. Maybe it's a good thing I'm not in an office job.

Ciao, I say casually, and flick my hair back. Si. Ciao. I could so be Italian. Except I might have to learn a few more words.

Life is like an escalator. You see, it carries you on regardless. And you might as well enjoy the view and seize every opportunity while you're passing. Otherwise, it'll be too late.

Why can't parents dance? Is it some universal law of physics or something?
Sophie Kinsella
I love all my characters. I love their weaknesses and flaws. I feel like they're all my best friends and I adore being with them.

Honestly, it’s so easy to get what you want from people if they think you’re a psycho.

We both gaze down at my swollen tummy for a while. I still can't quite get my head round the fact that there's a baby inside my body. Which has got to come out... somehow. OK, let's not go there. There's still time for them to invent something.
