“I wish I had fought.” Effy surprised herself by saying it. The words had leaped out of her throat, unbidden. “I know I beat him in the end, but for so many years all I could do was run and hide. I just sat there and let the water pour in around me. I didn’t know that I could fight back. I didn’t know how to do anything but wait to drown.”
“Oh no, Effy. That’s not what I meant at all. You don’t have to take up a sword. Survival is bravery, too.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“I can’t lose the thing I’ve held onto for so long, you know?” My face twists up from the pain of pushing it out. “I just really need it to be a love story, you know? I really, really need it to be that.”
“I know,” she says.
“Because if it isn’t a love story, then what is it”? I look to her glassy eyes, her face of wide open empathy. “It’s my life,” I say. “This has been my whole life.”
Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

Ava Reid
“I was a woman when it was convenient to blame me, and a girl when they wanted to use me.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“How terrible, to navigate the world without a story to comfort you.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

Ava Reid
“It began as all things did: a girl on the shore, terrified and desirous.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning
