Promise Me Sunshine
Quotes from the Book
Everyone's relationships are weird if you look closely enough at them. I have a theory that if your relationship with someone isn't weird, you don't know them well enough yet.
You're only boring if you think you're boring.
You can change your lifestyle and it doesn't have to change who you are.
Here's the thing about a crush. There is a lot of different kinds. Some of them are happy to pleasantly pluck away at a harp or an acoustic guitar in the corner of your mind. Some of them tap at the mic and ask for center stage. And some of them... some of them fly-tackle you and shove snow down your pants.
This is why I don’t normally talk to strangers. Stranger danger is real. But it’s me. I’m the danger…to myself>.
Simona, love? Bring out some cookies and something to drink, please. I’ve just said rude things and I need to make amends.
Young people. I hate to break it to you, but literally nothing is complicated for young people. You just think it is.
I would argue that dying your hair an unflattering shade of red is actually a really healthy and productive way to get over a breakup. Maybe even a rite of passage.
Yes, most of my closest people are all abroad.” “Do you stay in touch with them?” “Some of them I stay in really good touch — email and group chats and whatnot. Some of them I don’t stay in touch with at all but when I’m in their city they make time for me and it’s almost like I never left.

About the book
5 hours, 10 minutes
Ride along on this endearing road-trip rom-com from Audie Award nominee Cara Bastone - scripted exclusively for audio!
I have exactly 5 hours and 10 minutes to get from Boston to New York City or the professional opportunity of a lifetime disappears. My only travel option? The second to last seat on a discount bus. Across from the bathroom. Wearing last night’s clothes (don’t ask). All worth it if I can make it in time.
My nerves almost get the best of me, but then there he is, sitting down in the seat next to me. Tall. Friendly smile. Bright indigo streak in his brown hair. The perfect distraction. Turns out he’s on his way to reconnect with an old flame. The one who got away. We can both make it on time - just barely - if the traffic keeps flowing.
Playing road-trip games, avoiding calls from his mother, and effortless conversation keeps us from clockwat
