“And tonight, she had clocked Clare’s every movement, including her departure from the table a few minutes ago.”
Angelica Baker, When We Grow Up: A Novel

“Mac came into things soon enough, first through Kyle—they were on the flag football team together—and then, of course, through Jessie, who was eager for any chance to make out with him in front of Renzo. It was only later, after everything with Renzo’s mother, that Mac became as quick as the rest of them to protect Renzo, to excuse the vicious outbursts and the flagrant taste for self-destruction.”
Angelica Baker, When We Grow Up: A Novel

“Teenage girls were so desperate to be needed. None of them actually wanted boyfriends, or high drama, or true pain. They just wanted to feel essential, exposed in some crucial way to the vicissitudes of the world. And so they did things like give blow jobs in movie theaters, cry in public when something tragic happened to strangers across the country, throw themselves into her path in the hallway to ask her how Madison was feeling today. How she was managing. Did Amanda know anything. They just wanted the communal energy of crisis, the sense that they had to yank their best selves from somewhere deep within. They wanted, so very badly, to rise to the occasion.”
Angelica Baker, Our Little Racket
