Kindle Notes & Highlights
I wasn’t in Cousins. Conrad and I weren’t together, and Susannah was dead.
crazy line for page 2
“I love your hair like this. You look sort of Native American, like a Cherokee princess or something.”
what a weird thing to say taylor
“Are you still seeing that guy you brought to prom? The one with the unibrow?”
conrad fight back
“This is starting to get old, Belly. You’ve been moping around for months. It’s not healthy…. My mom thinks you should see someone.” “What? You’ve been talking to your mom about me?” I glared at her. “Tell your mom to save her psychiatric advice for Ellen.” Taylor gasped. “I can’t believe you just said that to me.” Their cat, Ellen, had seasonal affective disorder, according to Taylor’s mother. They had her on antidepressants all winter, and when she was still moody in the spring, they sent Ellen to a cat whisperer. It didn’t do any good. In my opinion, Ellen was just plain mean.
this is so funny??
I made a promise to myself: I would not leave his side all day. I would be right there, I would be a tower of strength, just like my mother.
so how do we go from this to dating jeremiah??
No one should be nice to me. I didn’t deserve it.

Her bra strap was sticking out of her tank top. I swear I never noticed her bra strap before.

“Will you do something for me?” Slowly, I nodded. “Look after him for me. Will you do that?”
even susannah is like and fuck jeremiah
Was it so much to ask him to be my prom date for one freaking night?
this is really reminding me that belly is just an annoying 16 year old like girl his mom has cancer
“We broke up,” I said. In a way, it was exciting to hear it said out loud, because if we were broken up, that meant that at one point, we had been together. We were real.
get a grip maybe
And Belly, come by the store and see me sometime. We’ll get you fitted for a hat. I think it’s time you had one, something with a trim.”
this is so funny what do you mean "it's time"
there was Susannah’s big floppy hat. The one she wore every time she sat on the beach. She was careful with her skin. Was.
not careful enough probably
“Same old Belly. I bet if we cut your body open, white sugar would come pouring out of you.”
conrad this is such a weird thing to say
My mother’s hand reached out and struck my cheek so hard I rocked back.
deserved
I heard Jeremiah come up behind me. I knew it was him right away, because Conrad would know not to follow me.
and then you dated him anyways
“I shouldn’t have hit you,”
no you should have and in fact you should do it again
“I know. But Adam? You were a sorry excuse for a husband.
another w take from laurel
When she told me about it, I thought, What I wouldn’t give to have Conrad Fisher call me his girlfriend and bring me shells.
this is so funny belly why are you jealous of your mom
They used to have cheeseburger-eating contests and they’d stack them up like pancakes. Sometimes they let me play too. One time, I won. I ate nine cheeseburgers.
just imagining participating made me nauseous
He sang to me, “And tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame, girl.” I put my hand on my heart and fake-swooned for him, like a groupie.
THIS IS IN THE BOOK???
I will never look at you in the same way ever again. I’ll never be that girl again. The girl who comes running back every time you push her away, the girl who loves you anyway.
oh girl you so will
