Kindle Notes & Highlights
While Gretchen could see the benefits of having such a person feel that way toward her, it wasn’t worth the energy pretending she would ever put herself out that much for someone else.

Some would say that made her a bad person, but considering that she was quite up-front with that aspect of herself, she tended to attract people who knew how to roll to avoid the wheels.
