The Measure by Nikki Erlick

~The measure of your life lies within.~

~[I]t sometimes overwhelmed Nina to think that she could spend an entire lifetime reading and never keep up.~

~The world had somehow tripped and tumbled through the looking glass, and Amie had read enough novels to recognize that this was the part of the story where nobody knew what the hell was going on, where the characters made rash decisions whose consequences would only be revealed chapters later.~

~But sometimes I think we forget that it also takes strength to be able to let go.~

~”If forever doesn’t exist,” she said, “we’ll invent it ourselves.”~
