Kindle Notes & Highlights
She was a strong woman. She should be falling apart, but instead she had made a list.
One thing Irene has learned in her fifty-seven years is that no matter how hideous something seems at first, with the passing of time comes habituation and then acceptance. What Irene is living through now is abhorrent. But the world is filled with deceptions and betrayals—nearly every life has one—and yet the sun still rises and sets, the world continues on.
It’s newly astonishing to Irene that as much as we know about the world, we still can’t see into another person’s mind or heart.
It’s not necessarily the creature comforts themselves, it’s that someone thinks you deserve them.
Secrets become lies, and lies end up destroying you and everyone you care about.”
