Sage Nestler and 3 other people liked LibraryMelancholia's review of The Reformatory: "Thank you to Saga for the free copy. This story broke my heart. It's very heavy, haunting and very much worth a read. It took me two tries to read it, but now I'm definitely going to be reading more from Tananarive."

Sage’s Quotes

“I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“I feel sorry for you, and I'm going to be your friend."
"I don't want to be your friend," Cath said as sternly as she could. "I like that we're not friends."
"Me, too. I'm sorry you ruined it by being so pathetic.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“That moment," she told Cath, "when you realize that a guy's looking at you differently—that you're taking up more space in his field of vision. That moment when you know he can't see past you anymore.”

“Reagan wore eyeliner all the way around her eyes. Like a hard-ass Kate Middleton. And even though she was bigger than most girls-big hips, big chest, wide shoulders-she carried herself like she was exactly the same size everyone wanted to be. And everyone went along with it.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”
