Quotes by Justine Pucella Winans  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Some of us live in the kind of B-list, vintage ’90s horror movie where one bad decision can lead to your gruesome death. Being a hero in that story usually just means you’ll die even faster, and the people watching will criticize your unrealistically selfless behavior as a fountain of blood spurts from your severed neck. In the horror story that is my life, it’s better to get by as a nameless extra.”
Justine Pucella Winans, How to Survive a Slasher

“Everyone wants to be the hero of their own story, but they should take time to consider the genre first. If your life is a romantic comedy or a fun fantasy”
Justine Pucella Winans, How to Survive a Slasher

“When enough people don't believe you, it is so much harder to hold on to that brilliant light that is the belief in yourself.

It was hard for River to hold on to it, but they had to.

Especially in The Otherwoods, in all its terrifying proof. And if River didn't have their identity, the things that made them happy, they'd have nothing to believe in at all. And believing was what had saved them their whole life.”
Justine Pucella Winans, The Otherwoods
