Raven Leilani
“I’m an open book,” I say, thinking of all the men who have found it illegible.”
Raven Leilani, Luster

Diana Joseph
“I too behaved in ways that suggested I had issues. Most of my issues aren't that unusual among those of my race, class, gender, and level of education -- white, middle, female, college -- and these issues include low self esteem, panic and anxiety attacks, unresolved anger toward my mother, an general bitchiness.”
Diana Joseph, I'm Sorry You Feel That Way: The Astonishing But True Story of a Daughter, Sister, Slut, Wife, Mother, and Friend to Man and Dog

Raven Leilani
“Based on his liberal use of the semicolon, I just assumed this date would go well.”
Raven Leilani, Luster

“But I was impressed at Jens’s ability to wear both a button-up and a turtleneck at the same time, such a violent thing to do to a neck.”
Calla Henkel, Other People’s Clothes

Diana Joseph
“I found that he was a lot more fun to talk about than he'd ever been to live with; I discovered a lot of women had Vincents of their own.
But every once in a while, without my permission and against my will, this man shows up in my dreams, wearing his Poocher shirt, driving his purple demolition derby car, my name glinting gold in the sun. He says he has something to say to me. He wants to know who do you think I am. He wants to know did I really love him or did I just hate myself. He wants to remind me of the girl I used to be.”
Diana Joseph, I'm Sorry You Feel That Way: The Astonishing But True Story of a Daughter, Sister, Slut, Wife, Mother, and Friend to Man and Dog
