Quotes by Jen Luerssen (?)

“I grab my wine and drink it down. This is why I hate to socialize. People talk about me and how I’m really a good person and then I have to disappoint them when they find it’s not the case.”
― Jen Luerssen, F*cking Frank

“When we pull into the long driveway, I get a sort of hopeful feeling, it’s unusual and a little unwelcome. I rarely ever feel hopeful. It goes against my pessimistic nature.”
― Jen Luerssen, F*cking Frank

“Sebastian is outside with his dog, Seawitch, a dumb fucking name for a dog, but he also named his winery the Thirsty Monkey, so he’s clearly an idiot.”
