Quotes by Maxie Dara (?)

“Life is for making messes, my girl. That’s living. That’s a privilege we only get for maybe eighty years at a go. We’re given this wonderful, beautiful sandbox to play in, and what a waste it is to never try and build something from it, even if the rain sweeps it away in the end.”
― Maxie Dara, A Grim Reaper's Guide to Catching a Killer

“For all the walls I'd built up over the years, he was an open field of wildflowers. One you could frolic in for hours without ever getting lost.”

“You don’t have to do this, you know. Shut me out. I feel like I’ve only read one chapter of your story, Kathy. And it was a great chapter, really riveting, but I want the rest. I want the oversharing narrator and the clumsy metaphors and the plot twists you don’t know what to do with. I want it all. I want you.”
