Quotes by Christina Diaz Gonzalez (?)

“Different is not always a good thing.”
― Christina Gonzalez, The Red Umbrella

“Ivette dug into my wooden jewelry box and pulled out a gold chain with a white daisy on it. "Well this just screams out 'I'm a little girl,' so forget this one." Next, she picked out a silver necklace with a small cross. "Oh, no, we can't make you holy and untouchable. You'll never get your first kiss that way."
I blushed and nervously started to giggle.
"Can you picture it?" She draped the chain around her neck and swayed to imaginary music. "Hi, Manuel. Oh, of course I'd like to dance, but be careful if you hold me too close, because not only is my mother chaperoning, God is watching and you'll be sent straight to hell." Ivette couldn't hold back her laughter. "No, this is definitely not the right necklace!”

“But the girl wasn’t a Greencloak. She was the only one in their group who wasn’t, and it didn’t seem right to discuss their mission with her. Doubt crept into Meilin’s thoughts. Perhaps she shouldn’t be so quick to feel safe. There had been betrayals before.”
― Christina Diaz Gonzalez, Stormspeaker
