“It’s hard to explain that to someone who doesn’t read, or who has never felt their heart bend so strongly toward a story that it might just snap in two. Some books are a comfort, some a reprieve, others a vacation, a lesson, a heartbreak. I’d met countless stories by the time I read a book that changed my life.”
― Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story

“Maybe that’s why I read romance novels so often, because they’re pretty stories clearly shelved in fiction, and that’s where I wanted to be.”
― Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story

“Because even after the people were gone, there were still stories. There were always stories. Other people took the heart of her books, and kept them close, and nurtured them and grew into something new, because nothing could ever stay in stasis. Nothing ever stopped. Nothing was permanent. Art lived and breathed, like love, like friendship. Life—like works of art—was transformative. It persisted. And through them, so did we.”
― Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story

“Confidence is silent. Insecurities are loud.”
― T.J. Klune, Somewhere Beyond the Sea
