Book Review: The Love Interest
“I don't exist to teach her a lesson, and it irks me that she thinks labelling me is okay now. Like, by liking guys, I automatically take on that role in her life. That I'm suddenly a supporting character in her story rather than the hero of my own.” ― Cale Dietrich, The Love Interest

“Maybe part of falling in love with someone else is also falling in love with yourself.” ― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star
Book Review: Eligible
“There’s a belief that to take care of someone else, or to let someone else take care of you—that both are inherently unfeminist. I don’t agree. There’s no shame in devoting yourself to another person, as long as he devotes himself to you in return.” ― Curtis Sittenfeld, Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice

“There are some dreams you can't wake up from. Ever. These are called nightmares.” ― Stephanie Kuehn, Complicit
Book Review: Ready Player One
“Whenever I saw the sun, I reminded myself that I was looking at a star. One of over a hundred billion in our galaxy. A galaxy that was just one of billions of other galaxies in the observable universe. This helped me keep things in perspective.” ― Earnest Cline, Ready Player One
Book Review: The Perfect Girl
“I believe that if you are lucky enough to have a child, then you should love them, whether or not society labels them as flawed, whether or not you label them as flawed.” ― Gilly Macmillan, The Perfect Girl
