"I'm confused because 3 characters were just added in and I don't know the relationship between everyone else and two of them (Alan and Alan junior). A weird relationship was just introduced too between Elly's mom and her sister? Nancy. They kissed and her dad knows and he laughed and was okay with it. Although Alan wasn't for some reason that is still unclear to me. Also, Alan is now in jail and we don't know why." Apr 22, 2016 11:04AM

"I liked the realization of the character in this chapter. He realized that the person he stole the watch from sent a person to beat him up and get it back. He was angry because it was his watch and not his right to take it. Then he realized that he stole the watch first and it was the other guys right to try to steal it back." Apr 08, 2016 11:09AM

“Why are you being so mean?"
"Friends tell friends the truth."
"yeah, but not to hurt, to help.”

“Why? You want to know why?

Step into a tanning booth and fry yourself for two or three days. After your skin bubbles and peels off, roll in coarse salt, then pull on long underwear woven from spun glass and razor wire. Over that goes your regular clothes, as long as they are tight.

Smoke gunpowder and go to school to jump through hoops, sit up and beg, and roll over on command. Listen to the whispers that curl into your head at night, calling you ugly and fat and stupid and bitch and whore and worst of all, "a disappointment." Puke and starve and cut and drink because you don't want to feel any of this. Puke and starve and drink and cut because you need the anesthetic and it works. For a while. But then the anesthetic turns into poison and by then it's too late because you are mainlining it now, straight into your soul. It is rotting you and you can't stop.

Look in a mirror and find a ghost. Hear every heartbeat scream that everysinglething is wrong with you.

"Why?" is the wrong question.

Ask "Why not?”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

“The number doesn't matter. If I got down to 070.00, I'd want to be 065.00. If I weight 010.00, I wouldn't be happy until I got down to 005.00. The only number that would ever be enough is 0. Zero pounds, zero life, size zero, double-zero, zero point. Zero in tennis is love. I finally get it.”

“We held hands when we walked down the gingerbread path into the forest, blood dripping from our fingers. We danced with witches and kissed monsters. We turned us into wintergirls, when she tried to leave, I pulled her back into the snow because I was afraid to be alone.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls
