by Beth O'Leary

doesn’t get that life is too short for rules about what’s cool and what’s not cool; life’s for living.

I think Izzy is the most annoying woman I have ever met, but very occasionally I can’t help noticing how beautiful she is.

I don’t understand how she does this to me, but something about Izzy Jenkins makes me want to behave very badly.

I realised that I was making all this effort for someone who gave zero shits about me.
