"Ten pages in and I'm already depressed and bawling my face off. This might go in the dnf pile, not because it isn't a good book, but because I don't want to have to go on antidepressants." — Feb 10, 2014 01:51PM

Allie’s Quotes

“I hate those movies, those books, where some guy gets to go off and have adventures and meanwhile the girl has to stay home and wait. I'm a feminist. I subscribe to Bust magazine, and I watch Buffy reruns. I don't believe in that kind of shit.”
― Kelly Link

“Hollowness: that I understand. I'm starting to believe that there isn't anything you can do to fix it. That's what I've taken from the therapy sessions: the holes in your life are permanent. You have to grow around them, like tree roots around concrete; you mold yourself through the gaps”
― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train
