She really likes to name drop

"It's not that easy to put into words because words have too many meanings that clutter everything up. Very blunt instruments, words - because of all those useless but unavoidable connotations."

So many unavoidable connotations in Mike...

"The journey from social outcast to harlot was more treacherous than I could have anticipated."

"Being a murderer is nowhere near as binary as people think."

For some reason I thought this was along the lines of The Collector, but so far it's just really boring

"I was learning to breathe through the moments where my words were inadequate."

"I was conscious. I had one good arm. I had a gun. And I was fucking furious."

"There was a set to his jaw, an anger I could feel through the silence."

"I had been locked away from the world for three years, but I knew a predator when I saw one."

"Quick as her mind was, her tongue tended to stumble along behind."

Malkar pulled his hand back. 'Our land. Bastards only think it's theirs.'

"Painful deaths are my specialty."

Oh Mabel

"How was it possible for someone to always say the wrong thing? Probability alone should have allowed me to get it right at least some of the time."

'What's going on?' he said.
'Where do I start?'
'Start where the pain is.'

Not the best book to read when my equanimity is down the toilet, not for quite the same reasons as Mabel...

"His belief in things unseen because we all need to believe in something outside ourselves, even if it's a fantastical creature."

"We need to be afraid."

"My sisters are floating face down in the pool, wondering who can look drowned the longest."

"It occurs to me, for the first time, that maybe he's not a monster. That maybe he's only a monster to me."

"I think I made you up inside my head."

...the trauma she inflicts

"An unbreakable chain of girls Henry seriously underestimated."

"I'm glad we have a backup plan in case we die."

"You know I don't keep dead animals in my room anymore."

Maybe thing'll liven up now there's werewolves...

"I came to this realization that I don't do enough things to keep a datebook."

I know, Clay. Your life is excruciatingly boring

'Why do you lock your door, Clay?'
I turn around. 'Because you both stole a quarter gram of cocaine from me the last time I left my door open. That's why.'
My sisters don't say anything.
When we get home, my younger sister finally tells me, out by the pool, 'That's bullshit. I can get my own cocaine.'

"Jared heard this stupid joke from his boyfriend who works at Morton's.
What are the two biggest lies?
I'll pay you back and I won't come in your mouth.
I don't even get it."

I'm sure someone at this party could show you Alana

If Ness had changed every single line, it wouldn't be the same. But since she used one line, there's a name for that: Literary Allusion. Instead of getting people to jump off heights, maybe Graffam needs to teach her students some writing techniques, and then they won't want to do some murder...

"Cat slows down and takes a right into the library parking lot. 'Prostitution ring in the reference section. Told you.'"

😂😂

"Fortified by a bottle of Mountain Dew plus half of Christina's Red Bull, which I was hoping would make me feel like a snowboarder who does flips while throwing up gang signs, but it just makes me feel like throwing up, full stop."
