Quotes from the Book

I don’t care if I have one year or five years or ten
I knew two things right in that moment: Ruby Tate was so much sexier than she realized. And I was completely fucked.
It meant I took on about a hundred times more responsibility than I should have at a young age. It meant that I was juggling mental weight that was far too heavy for someone in my age bracket. Old soul was just another way of saying can’t relax enough to express their emotions.
The curse of being the type A responsible one was only feeling comfortable in situations where the outcome was known.
Sometimes fear made for a stronger leash than we were willing to break.
