“In fiction, I searched for my favorite authors, women I have trusted to reassure me than not all teenage guys are total ditwads, that the archetype of the noble cute hero who devotes himself to the girl he loves has not gone the way of the rotary phone.

As Bea would say, this why they call it fiction.”
― Sarah Strohmeyer, Smart Girls Get What They Want
