“The magazines seemed to love nothing more than a photo they could run with the headline “Britney Spears got HUGE! Look, she’s not wearing makeup!” As if those two things were some kind of a sin—as if gaining weight was something unkind I’d done to them personally, a betrayal.

― Britney Spears, The Woman in Me

“As long as you wear my ring, use my name, and sleep in my bed, you are mine to protect.”
― Meghan Quinn, The Reason I Married Him

“If ever there was a person for whom love was created, it was for you.”
― Raven Kennedy, Goldfinch

― Raven Kennedy, Goldfinch
