CassandraAnn’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Beautiful Little Things

The Beautiful Little Things by Melissa Hill

6 highlights

The forced festive gaiety, the crippling sense of nostalgia and the idea that everything was supposed to be so bloody wonderful

“So many women hold themselves up to an unattainable level of beauty, thinking that once they achieve it, then they’ll be happy. But the point of life isn’t to look beautiful or even to be happy all the time—that’s impossible. The point of life is to be alive in the world, to feel every emotion, even the messy and painful ones. To challenge yourself, to take risks, to find beauty in the imperfections and be grateful for the opportunity to experience it all.”
― Ali Brady, The Beach Trap
