Kindle Notes & Highlights

A no-good man has been the end of so many women. Don’t be a statistic.”
“Guys are a waste,” she says. “Don’t let him make you cry.”
We wrote this book to process how each character understood and misunderstood the things happening around her. We wrote to give kids who don’t get to be the hero in the story a chance to be the hero. But we also wrote this book to try to understand another person’s perspective. We wrote together as a way of listening to each other.
