What I was hoping wouldn't happen happened...

"I thought about our arms around other people, other people’s arms around us, but somehow it only made it worse. It was always the thing I’d found most unbearable: the ways that loving someone had put them in danger rather than made them safe."

It's interesting how labels give us comfort. We don't need to know everything about ourselves, but we do feel better when we can stack paper in neat piles.

This is an extreme version of politics infiltrating every aspect of our lives.

This book is way too real and unreal at the same time
