Melissa’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Cash (Lucky River Ranch, #1)

Cash (Lucky River Ranch, #1) by Jessica Peterson

81 notes & 142 highlights

“Girls aren't beautiful, they're pretty. Beautiful is too heavy a word to assign to a girl. Women are beautiful because their faces show that they know they have lost something and picked up something else.”
