P ’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for When She Was Good (Cyrus Haven, #2)

When She Was Good (Cyrus Haven, #2) by Michael Robotham

1 highlight

“Do you know where the term ‘wild-goose chase’ comes from? Shakespeare used it in Romeo and Juliet. It describes a search for something unattainable or nonexistent. A fool’s errand.”

“I just look at her and she creeps me out. She looks like she would eat a baby. Not that she's fat. She just looks hungry in some dangerous way that can't be explained. She's always so nice and friendly. Exactly the disposition of a baby killer.”
― Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors
