Rachel’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Dream (Creek Water #4)

The Dream (Creek Water #4) by Whitney Dineen

4 highlights

My mom hated needing help bathing. That feeling only intensified when she couldn’t get on and off the toilet on her own. I assured her that all bodies were gross and hers wasn’t any worse than anyone else’s.

“She has very high standards." "Maybe. Or maybe she's-and I'm having trouble putting this in a nonjudgemental away-maybe she's got into the habit of criticising you and hasn't paid attention to how much that messes you up.”

“Okay.” I drew in a calming breath. “Let me try to explain. Most of the people who aren’t you understand that capitalism is exploitative and climate change is a problem and that choices we make can support things that are bad or unjust. But we survive by a precarious strategy of not thinking about it. And reminding us of that makes us sad, and we don’t like being sad, so we get angry.”
― Alexis Hall, Boyfriend Material
