" Hmm, if only there were a place where one could go for information... a place that had free books on every topic you could think of... (book stack emoji) Smiling, I typed back the interwebs? just to be a shit."

-Alicia Thompson, Love in the Time of Serial Killers

"I'm not comparing him to Most Wanted sketches anymore, if that's what you're asking." "The start of every beautiful friendship." "Shut up," I said. "You know I have a black, mistrustful pit where my heart is supposed to be." "I know that's what you want people to think," Conner said."

This is a real '"'Tis," replied Aunt Helga' moment you're in."

It made me dream, for one night at least, of something I hadn't even dared to as a young girl lying in this same bed--- that all the pink heart valentine, sappy love song stuff might be real, and be something I could have."
