“Because here’s something else no one understands unless they’ve been there: unemployment is boring. Soul-crushingly so. People have no idea how much of their day is taken up by the act of going to work. The getting ready. The commute there. The eight hours at your desk. The commute home. So much time automatically occupied. Take them away and there’s nothing but empty hours stretching before you, waiting to be filled.”

“probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but I’ve got some confiscated Ambien in my purse,” Detective Palmer says, deadly serious. “Pop one, wash it down with some whiskey, and you’ll be out like a light.

The goal here is to wake up as the tent is being sliced open, not drop into a coma.”

― Riley Sager, The Only One Left

“They don’t know how expensive it is to bury both of your parents before the age of twenty. They don’t know what it’s like to sit weeping before a pile of financial statements showing how much debt they had accrued over the years. To be told all their insurance policies have been voided. To go back to college, shouldering the cost yourself with the help of financial aid, two jobs, and student loans that won’t be paid off until you’re forty.”
