Do that thing where you look blank, like you have no feelings at all.” “I think that’s just my face.”
I think this is the line that I see quoted from the book most often – and it’s my favorite! I loved writing a character who had suppressed her emotions to such an extent she thought she didn’t have any. I think we have very specific expectations for how women should show emotion, and it makes people very uncomfortable when they encounter a girl who is quite reserved and stoic. I created Wren with this in mind – people think she’s a monster because she’s so closed-off, but, to me, she’s just dealing with trauma the only way she can.
