“Grant read my book, and he said it was good!
A tiny parade marches through my chest, filled with baton-throwing, tutu-clad dancers, people on floats throwing confetti, a full marching band with tubas and bass drums, and not a clown car in sight. Those are creepy and nothing about this moment feels the least bit creepy.
Grant read my book.
A sigh of contentment softly blows through my nose, and my grin feels like the first taste of summer after a long year of sitting in a stuffy classroom.
Grant read my book.
I sigh. Is this what swooning feels like?”

“Tasha, my friend. You have become the one person I can count on to be honest with me here in the states. You support me without any hidden motives. You have made me laugh more than I thought I could. Will you do me the honor of being my wife—until Stuart do us part?”
― Savannah Scott, A Not So Fictional Fall

“Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate being in love. Unless you’re single and lonely. Then it’s called Laundry Day. ~ Dane Cook”

“He already assumes my French arrogance. I would say confidence is not arrogance if it’s factual. I’m not one to say French men are superior. What I will say is we are steeped in a culture devoted to cherishing women, appreciating them, and seducing them. We aren’t known for this worldwide for nothing. We have earned our reputation. I’ll be the first to admit some Frenchmen are more seductive than romantic, especially in our larger municipalities where the men can be downright brutish in their directness. But nonetheless, we Frenchmen know romance and we know it well enough to write a book—or twenty-two, my current number of published titles. That is, if a Frenchman were able to write well, which, some can, and some, sadly cannot.”

“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most. -Jodi Picoult”

“Sometimes all you need is one person that shows you that it's okay to let your guard down, be yourself, and love with no regrets. ~ Unknown”

“Hey, Trevor,” Decker says. “You-uns having a party?” “Nah,” I tell him. “I’m crashing girls’ night.” He wags his eyebrows like a typical high school boy, probably imagining a far more exciting night than the one I’m actually about to have. No one needs to know I’m going to settle in for a romcom in a room full of women on a Friday night. The things I do to be near Lexi sometimes border on mortifying.”
― Savannah Scott, Friendshipped

“Falling in love can be surprising, unexpected, even scary. It’s like standing in line for a roller coaster and then stepping on. Once you’ve buckled in, there’s no turning back from the thrill and rush of it all.”

― Savannah Scott, Friendshipped

“Dad, I know what you're doing, and you may as well quit while you're ahead. I can't see myself falling in love - ever. Jayme's been a blessing to Fiona. And she's definitely like no one you've ever met. But I know you'd eventually at least want me to find someone more stable than her, not a fairy whose spirit animal must be Pippi Longstocking."
"Did you just say spirit animal?"
"Let's just move on. You understand what I'm saying. Jayme's impractical, a dreamer, out of touch. No one can maintain that level of exuberant happiness without medication. Something has to be wrong with her."
"Because she's happy?"
"Because she's chronically happy. Nothing ever gets her down."
"And that's a problem?"
"It's a problem for me."
"Just as I thought."
...
"Okay." ... "I find her intriguing.”

“I think you have to take each day as it comes.
...
"That's what I tell Fiona. I encourage her not to look down the road too far. Every new day is a blank page. You get to write on it what you will."
...
"If I get a blank page? I'm writing, Stay out?"
...
"Your choice. Your blank page. You write what you will.”
― Savannah Scott, Doctorshipped

“I nod to Stuart, who is already moving in the direction of the mic, eager, as they say in the states, to rip the bandaid. We have a saying a little like this, to seize the nettle. Either”

“Your smiles are sweet, rich, and worth the wait.”

“Okay. I'll give you a peek inside my mind, but only because you are pushy and I know you aren't going to give up until I do." I huff out a breath.
"I push because I love you."
"I know. So, you want to know if my singleness in the midst of all this marital bliss bugs me."
...
"Yeah. To be honest, my singleness has bugged me a little lately. It never did. I always really felt confident choosing not to get involved with anyone. But, lately, with each of you dropping like flies, I feel more alone sometimes. I'm not alone. I know that. And I'm still committed to my decision, but I'm working through some things."
"Like not having a roommate."
...
"Yeah." I admit. "Of course the lack of roommate situation matters to me. I mean, you and I had our little life together and I loved it. Don't get me wrong. I want you and Duke to get married and build an amazing future together. Don't ever think I don't. But it's a loss for me. And I'm free-falling for a minute. I'll find my bearings. Please don't worry about me."
"I know you will. I just don't want you to commit to being single without leaving room for love if it surprises you from out of nowhere."
I take a deep breath. May as well lay everything on the line. "I have given this a whole lot of thought lately. I just don't think my heart is made for one more break. I know I only had one serious boyfriend. So, my stance is a little ridiculous considering my lack of experience. And I'm not even sure I loved Shane. I probably didn't. But, when he cheated on me, it impacted me more deeply than I expected. Over time I realized I'd rather stick with friends. I don't think I'm the type of woman suited for relationships with men. Besides, I love my life. It's not like I need a man. Marriage isn't glamorous. It's actually hard. Worse than it being hard? It can end up an endless stream of monotony. I don't want to sign up for that."
...
"Sorry."
"Don't be sorry. Marriage is hard. And not every marriage is build on a solid foundation. But, with the right person, it's also beautiful, strong, and wonderful. Even with the right person, a relationship will have highs and lows. I'm not delusional. Duke and I will face hardship. It's sort of par for the course in life, right? But, I'd rather go through hard times with him than have all my days without him. That's what happens when you find the one you're meant to be with.”

“I prefer to think I'm a realist.
The rest of the world choses to don rose-colored glasses.
Especially Jayme. She probably sleeps in rose-colored glasses to ensure her own sweet dreams.”

“He's a puzzle. I mean, you look at him and think, hot. But then you meet him and you find out he's so cold.”
