Quotes by Mason Deaver  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I don't know whether to cry or scream or do both. It feels like I've done more than enough of both. And it feels like I haven't done enough.

And at some point, I know I'm going to have to crawl out of this bed and pick up the pieces but right now, it can be just me. Just me, these four walls, and this bed.

The universe doesn't have to exist outside this bedroom, and that's perfectly okay.”
Mason Deaver, I Wish You All the Best

“Bodies are fucking weird, especially when it feels like you don't belong in your own.”
Mason Deaver, I Wish You All the Best

“Whatever happens”—his grip tightens a little—“I wish you all the best, Benjamin De Backer.” He says it with a smile. “You deserve it.”
Mason Deaver, I Wish You All the Best
