Book cover for Something Fabulous (Something Fabulous, #1)
“Yes, I can see that. Were you very close?” “Of course not. He was my father. Who is close to their father?” “Umm . . .” Tarleton scrunched up his nose in a way that certainly wasn’t endearing. “Elizabeth Bennet?” “Nonimaginary people.” Now ...more

“When Audre Lorde wrote that oft-instagrammed quote: 'Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare,' she didn't mean that self-care should be selfish or a form of self-flagellation, that it should be an overpriced moisturizer or a painful procedure. Self-care, in reality, is supposed to coincide with community care.

We, as women, win and lose together. Sorority is self-care.”

“I didn't want to have to pour concrete around my heart in an attempt to shield me from the blast.”

“Can I call it haunted when I'm every ghost?”

“That it’s “just a show” is exactly the problem, I howled. How can a TV show have taken on such outsized significance in my life? Because there’s nothing else to compete with it, that’s why! What had my life become? I wailed. There was nothing that was my own. All I had was Benedict Cumberbatch!”
Tabitha Carvan, This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch: The Joy of Loving Something--Anything--Like Your Life Depends On It
