Alys’s Quotes

“But it takes strength to reject all the things the world tells you to be.”
― Holly Bourne, How Do You Like Me Now?

“It's hard enough, feeling the clock ticking and yet life not obliging to give you the things others have. To feel defunct and left behind and scared as hell about it -- and the more nervous you get about it, the more you give off some smell that makes it less likely to happen.”
― Holly Bourne, How Do You Like Me Now?

“You can build a relationship for so many years. You can grow it and nurture it, give it foundations and walls, and tinker with how you want it decorated. Then in just one moment, you can blow at it gently by telling the truth and the relationship collapses like a teetering house of cards. Years of careful craftsmanship. One conversation to undo it all.”
― Holly Bourne, How Do You Like Me Now?
