Quotes by Clare Lydon (?)

“Plenty of lesbians were friends with their exes.”
― Clare Lydon, Hotshot

1 likes

“Somehow, Gemma had turned into her north star, and going back to Cornwall had only heightened that sense. Nothing had felt right there. Yet as soon as she was back in Surrey, she’d felt at peace. Places you belonged were never about the location itself. They were always about the people, the memories you held, and the ones you hoped to make. Gemma and Skye fell very much into the final category.”
― Clare Lydon, It Started with a Kiss
