Quotes by Amy Sue Nathan (?)

“She too might be a broken pretzel—and that was okay. Anna had shown her that perfection was overrated. The pieces were just as sweet, just as crunchy.”
― Amy Sue Nathan, Well Behaved Wives

“But you came back at the same time, after so long, and that’s when all heck breaks loose in my life? It’s like the universe conspired against me.” Doris leaned her head back and chuckled. “You don’t think the timing is a coincidence, do you? The universe didn’t conspire against you. No sirree. The universe armed you.”
― Amy Sue Nathan, The Last Bathing Beauty
