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

“Much less all the other things people post that they really should keep to themselves. Like when Peter Dyer commented on Teresa Green’s post of the picture of her in a bathing suit, saying she looked hot. And his wife saw it? He’s lucky he’s still alive.” “Facebook has really brought out the stupid in people. Like his wife wasn’t going to find out. And when she did, what did he think would happen?” I shook my head, thinking about his stupidity.”
Laina Turner, Friends and Foes
