Kindle Notes & Highlights
Life would do what it was going to do, and the most any of us could do was to just roll with the punches and hope it didn’t suck too badly.

His shy smile widened into a genuine grin, a rare joke from him, and it was sort of like seeing a rainbow after a hard thunderstorm, the way the smile transformed his usually stoic expression.
“And it’s not a sport. Just put the ball in the hole. Easy. I’m gonna win us a friend for the goat. Watch me.” “Like you need a bigger fan club.”

“Hot dogs, popcorn, and a proposition? It’s a date.”
Maybe it wasn’t love that hurt. It wasn’t love that screwed me over. Real love didn’t have conditions and limitations. People had failed me, let me down, hurt me. But not everyone was like that.
“You. You’re the only plan I’ve got for my summer. The only one that matters at least.”
