Kindle Notes & Highlights
She didn’t look at me once. Mom almost never looks at me.
When are they not pissing each other off? Every time they fight, I’m the one who pays for it. Mom walks around slamming doors and shouting. Lazzaro finds me and destroys whatever peace I’ve found
I pretend to be fast asleep when Giulia gets into bed and puts her hand on my back.
We’re a couple of family fuck-ups together, and I wish I could scoop her up in my arms and carry her away from all this bullshit.
No one can hurt you like family can. Just because you tell yourself it doesn’t matter it doesn’t mean you stop caring about that sort of pain.
