Sisters Through and Through: The Nightingale Book Review

Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.” ― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Book Review: Gone with the Wind
“After all, tomorrow is another day!” ― Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind
Book Review: The Circle
“You sit at a desk twelve hours a day and you have nothing to show for it except some numbers that won't exist or be remembered in a week. You're leaving no evidence you lived. There's no proof.” ― Dave Eggers, The Circle
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
I Joined a Club
For my birthday, my mom wanted to get me a new purse. Don't get me wrong; I like purses. It's a nice sentiment, mom, but if you're going to spend some money on me, I'd rather it in book form.

“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
