"They have flavors like Hong Kong milk tea and ube and Vietnamese coffee. Spiced persimmon. Mango lassi. Jasmine tea." There's something sexy about Mark listing off gelato flavors for me."

-Jackie Lau, Love, Lies, and Cherry Pie

"At the liquor store, we select a bottle of wine based on one very important factor: price. The cheaper the better. Then we head home, change into comfier clothes, pull out our plastic wineglasses (very classy), and start up a K-drama that we've been meaning to watch for ages. See? This is the great thing about being in your thirties, childless, and living with a roommate. You can do things like this, whereas Allison is probably wrangling her children into bed, trying to reason with them about monsters under the bed or similar."

-Jackie Lau, Love, Lies, and Cherry Pie

"Holy shit! Fifteen bucks for a milkshake!" I exclaim, looking at the poster for the special of the month: cherry pie milkshake. I, personally, consider fifteen bucks to be too much for a drink that doesn't have alcohol. But as I study the photo, the price point starts to make sense. The milkshake is literally topped with a slice of cherry pie, which is then topped with vanilla ice cream. And it's, like, a full slice of cherry pie, not some itty-bitty version. "It's two desserts in one," Paige says. "Really stretching the definition of a milkshake."

-Jackie Lau, Love, Lies, and Cherry Pie

"Sunday morning, I make a few posts on social media, something I'm supposed to do as an author to promote myself, but I'm rather unconvinced of the efficacy of posting things like cherry pie milkshake pictures to sell a book that's partially about generational trauma. Not that I have a photo of that milkshake, but it did sound delicious. I can't justify the cost, though if I'd ordered it, I would definitely have posted the picture. Just like I posted a picture of the "chocolate cake" donut I bought a few weeks ago. It wasn't a cake donut but a yeast donut, dipped in chocolate ganache and chocolate cake crumbs, then topped with an actual piece of chocolate cake."

"We don't get to know the whole story all at once. And where we're headed matters so much less than how we get there."

-Katherine Center, The Rom-Commers

"If my life were a screenplay, I'd end the story right there and roll credits - and then maybe rewind and watch it again."

-Katherine Center, The Rom-Commers

-Katherine Center, The Rom-Commers

"Humanity at its worst is an easy story to tell - but it's not the only story. Because the more we can imagine our better selves, the more we can become them."
