Quotes by Jenny McLachlan

“Never in the history of the universe has the meeting of two socks felt so amazing.”
― Jenny McLachlan

“What if my hands feel dry? Or, worse, sweaty? What if they just feel weird? Could I have weird hands? The more I think about my hands the weirder they seem. Could I... could I possibly have man-hands? I begin to feel sweat squeezing out of my big manly fingertips.”

“This is the best thing I've ever sat on," I say, wriggling in my seat. "Except maybe Darth Vader's lap. That was good, but scary... he was doing the voice.”
