“In real life, I constantly rework conversations after the fact in my head, edit them until I’ve perfected my witty, lighthearted, effortless banter—all the stuff that seems to come naturally to other girls.

“You never know what someone’s hiding. We all hide ourselves when we need to.”
― Jennifer Niven, Breathless

“Trapped behind the wall I’ve built around myself, unable to move or breathe or do anything but keep building it up around me, brick by brick, fast as I can.”
― Jennifer Niven, Breathless
