Breasts = dirty pillows
By Margaret White

I never planned on investing time and energy for this book, but man! My eyes welled up reading the Husband and Wife story. It came as a surprise, when Fusagi turned around and thanked Kohtake… he knows that she will be back from the future, and is still taking care of him, as his nurse.

The challenge of Alzheimer’s disease and working out on your marriage with the love of your life.

“You must drink the entire cup before the coffee goes cold… if you don’t, it will be your turn to be the ghost sitting in this seat.”

Detritus - tattered grey furniture; tangles of old clothes strewn across the wiry carpet; paperwork scattered on the surface of a rickety wooden table.

The ghost girl is Jake’s mother! WTF
It always goes back to where it started, Francis - Frank’s son.

Explanations and apologies were almost always for the person making them.
If everyone could see God, how many people would bother going to church.
How long does it take and how much does a person have to change, before the person you hated is gone, replaced by someone new?

Whoa. What the effin surprise!
A lot of revelations and WTF/“I knew it!” Moments.

There was also something to be said for gut instinct.
It always ends where it starts.
“If you’re lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you.”

Rage was a good motivator.
Simplest solution that fits all the factsia the one you go with.
Courage is not the absence of fear, courage requures fear.

“If you leave a door half open, soon you’ll hear the whispers spoken.”

“The Devil finds work for idle hands.
Bad thoughts find empty heads.”

“Trying to fight through depression. One foot kn front of the other. Keep moving.”

“… the truth is thar most strangers are decent people, whereas the home is often the most dangerous place of all.”

“Laters, baby.” 🚨

“The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.”
- Andrew Carnegie (industrialist)

Petrichor - word that describes the smell of fresh rain after warm weather.

Read 100 pages?!? Whew!

“Anterrible sex life is like a virus. Your marriage can be healthy in all other aspects, but once the sex dies out, it starts to infect all the other parts of your relationship.”
- Verity Crawford (Chapter 5, Autobiography)

“…without hypocrites, there will be no rpic karmic moments…take care of your physical being. Feed it what it needs, not what the conscience tells you it wants…”

“Death by routine… Don’t focus on why you’re playing the game. Just focus on the finish line.” The pacing is good. It is graphically spicy. Verity is blonde, unlike Anne Hathaway's dark hair in the film adaptation. I smiled and punched the air when Verity quotes the writer Charles Bukowski—whose work helped me get through some tough times: Find what you love, and let it kill you." — Charles Bukowski

“The reason authors almost always put a dedication on a book, is becUse their selfishness even horrifies themselves in the end.”
- Paul Sheldon

Scheherazade

“If they caught them they made sure that they could go on working... but they also made sure they would never run again. The operation was called hobbling…”
