So far it's pretty interesting, but I can also tell it was made for a slightly younger audience than me. I'm still going to give it a fair shot tho

"Maybe one day she will find someone and together they will be weird."

"For months after he left, it made her want to vomit thinking of another woman making her husband feel alive. Phoebe had been so jealous-but not just of Mia. Her husband felt alive again. She couldn't imagine it."

"That was how Phoebe felt at the end of her marriage. They reenacted the beginning-went on date nights, invited each other to things. But she could feel how he didn't really care if she came. her presence had somehow become irrelevant to her own husband, and how are people supposed to tolerate that kind of pain? How are you supposed to go from being the center of someone's world to being irrelevant?"

"She didn't understand how she could love herself. She didn't understand what people even meant when they said they loved themselves. She honestly didn't believe them. How could you love yourself? How could you love yourself when you know every single horrible thing you've ever thought?"

"Because Phoebe is not nice. No-Phoebe was just trying very hard to be liked, even by Mia and her husband, even after the affair. She behaved like she was a nice woman in an Isben play, waiting for the audience to clap or turn on her at any moment. But in her fantasies, she didn't think nice things. She always wished for bad things for them both."

"Amy made me believe I was exceptional, that I was up to her level of play. That was both our making and undoing. Because I couldn't handle the demands of greatness. I began craving ease and averageness, and I hated myself for it. I had turned her into the brittle, prickly thing she became. I had pretended to be one kind of man and revealed myself to be quiet another."

"I should add, in Amy's defense, that she'd asked me twice if I wanted to talk, if I was sure I wanted to do this. I sometimes leave out details like that. It's more convenient for me. In truth, I wanted her to read my mind so I didn't have to stoop to the womanly art of articulation."

"And Phobe hates the word fun. Phobe thinks that if people could stop using the word fun, stop expecting everything to be fun, everything could be fun again. She was exhausted by her husband's insistence that everything should be fun. He never used to speak like that, when things were actually fun, but at the very end, when nothing was fun, he'd say, "Let's go for drinks, it'll be fun."'

"And why is she always trying to reduce people into these knowable, tiny boxes where there is room for only one or two personality traits?... Nobody is ever like anything all of the time."

Nick is actually so fucked
