jess’s Quotes

Taylor Jenkins Reid

“Accept accept accept. For so long, Nina had believed it was her greatest strength—that she could withstand, that she could endure, that she would accept it all and keep going. It was so foreign to her, the idea of declaring that something was unacceptable.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising
