This main character is entitled in ways that Emerson Leigh is not. She’s so angry and short tempered about things that seem very immature- like middle school/high school behavior. Welcome to cringe nation haha

I can’t read this while I’m hungry and they’re doing a food review 😞

I’m pretty sure this is a children’s book, but if it’s not it’s written so well in the child’s perspective. I remember seeing the movie and liking it so I had to pick this up from the library.

It’s honestly reminding me how cruel children can be, but their cruelty is stemmed from the teachings of adults’ ugly thoughts. Ugly thoughts are taught and the hideous pattern becomes harder to break.

“ All I will say is that you show up for your friends on their hardest days. And you hold their hand through the roughest parts. Life is about who is holding your hand and, I think, whose hand you commit to holding. “

“ passion is… It’s fire. And fire is great, man. But we’re made of water. Water is how we keep living. Water is what we need to survive. My family was my water. I picked water. I’ll pick water every time.”

“But loving somebody isn’t perfection and good times and laughing and making love. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it’s a gut punch. That’s why it’s a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person…

“I’m saying that when you really live someone, sometimes the things they need may hurt you, and some people are worth hurting for”

I can’t decide if this is romantic or toxic… or romanticizing toxic relationships

“ I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it’s not faith, right?”

You have these lines you won't cross. But
then you cross them. And suddenly you possess the very dangerous information that you can break the rule and the world won't instantly
come to an end.
You've taken a big, black, bold line and you ve made it a little bit gray. And now every time you cross it again, it just gets grayer and grayer until one day you look around and you think, There was a line here once, / think.

Karen is my fav so far with great one liners!!

“Men often think they deserve a sticker for treating women like people.”

“That’s the glory of being a man. An ugly face isn’t the end of you.”
