The City Opera Thrift Shop Murder by Yvonna Russell
“Coming to my senses, I walked into the thrift shop and walked over to the counter, and shoved the donation into the hand of the pretty volunteer.
“Would you like a receipt for your tax-deductible donation? “ she said sweetly.
“No,” I was brusque and rude.
I stomped away, trying to hide my tears. Now my life was reduced to fucking the help. I was in HALT. Hungry, angry, lonely, and tired.
Where was that stupid boy?”

“The largest shareholder in L’Oreal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers had been the top girl for a while. After her father’s death Eustacia’s fortune jumped making her crack into the $100 billion club.

Didn’t they think she had anything better to do with her time? Eustacia bristled with annoyance.
No, she would not, (a) being rich was like being beautiful or smart if you have to tell someone you are you're probably not, (b) someone will always ask you for money.”
Yvonna Russell, The Billionairess

“He is half of my soul, as the poets say.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
