“I feel like Amy wanted people to believe she really was perfect. And as we got to be friends, I got to know her. And she wasn't perfect. You know?

She got rid of me because I knew she wasn't perfect.”

“There are all sorts of losses people suffer - from the small to the large. You can lose your keys, your glasses, your virginity. You can lose your head, you can lose your heart, you can lose your mind.

Loss is more than just death, and grief is the gray shape-shifter of emotion.”
