“It is the hope, they say, that ruins you, for hope rides bareback on disappointment, blows raspberries and jeers I told you so.”
Joanna Nadin, The Queen of Bloody Everything

“What I didn’t tell her, what I don’t tell her, is that it’s not a writer I want to be, but the girl in the book. That the real reason I read – the only reason I read – is because I am imagining myself on the pages, trying to narrate a life for myself more ordered and more accomplished than the one I’m living.”
Joanna Nadin, The Queen of Bloody Everything

“We all have secrets.”
