“I need a wife for life”
― Kirthana Ramisetti, Dava Shastri's Last Day

“I love my husband, but I don't need him. Not for my name to mean something. Not to feel whole. Years later, Dava would remember that moment and would berate herself for tempting fate-and losing.”
― Kirthana Ramisetti, Dava Shastri's Last Day

“And to be this great, I'm going to need a wife. I'm going to need for you to be my wife. I know it's not what you signed up for. But this is what I want. And to get to that level, I'm going to need you to be the kind of person who will be in charge of all this-laundry, playdates, dinner parties. (Page 216)”
― Kirthana Ramisetti, Dava Shastri's Last Day

“I've never made a piecrust, actually. Maybe I should learn? Probably too late now. Shocking how soon the "too late now" part of your life arrives. When you're young, there's nothing but possibility, just an endless line of tomorrows, and then you wake up one day and realize that no, you cannot move to Paris on a whim because so many of those old buildings don't have elevators and stairs are hell on your knees now. And besides, you never learned to speak French, and now your brain, once so fresh and spongy and ready to soak up knowledge, feels about as pliable as a peach pit.”
