I don't know what's gonna happen in the rest of this book but I hate Ruko right now.

"Wish for more pain," a friend's therapist once told her, "because that's how you'll change." It has to hurt so much that you have to do something differently. The pain forces your hand.

"How I picture it: We are all nesting dolls inside ourselves, carrying the earlier iterations of ourselves inside. We carry the past inside us. We take ourselves - all of our selves - wherever we go."
