Quotes by Lynne Rae Perkins (?)

“Maybe the grass is greener on the other side depends who was standing in it. Sometimes you have to go over there and look.”

“I know I'm still young and there's a lot of time for things to happen, but sometimes I think there is something about me that's wrong, that I'm not the kind of person anyone can fall in love with, and that I'll always just be alone.”
― Lynne Rae Perkins, Criss Cross

“They looked for one another when nothing else was happening, the way you pick up a magazine or look in the cupboard for a snack. Not exactly by accident and not exactly on purpose. You could go out in the world and do new things and meet new people, and then you could come home and just sit on the stoop with someone you had never not known, and watch lightning bugs blink on and off.”
― Lynne Rae Perkins, Criss Cross
