Kindle Notes & Highlights
But the thing about the single girl anthem… it’s usually born out of a lot of tears from the last heartbreak.
“Why is it when girls get their heart broken, they go off men entirely? A guy gets his heart kicked in and he moves on to the next. Chicks aren’t like that.”
“I need like two minutes for my soul to float back inside of me and then it’s your turn.” “Your soul floated away? Damn, girl, can I get that in a Yelp review?”
Dead. Gone. Rest in peace. Thought I was going to hell, but this is heaven.
You don’t get to tell people how to feel. Fuck. You don’t even get to tell yourself how to feel. It’s a real bitch of the human condition to be in control of everything and also nothing.
“We should celebrate.” Adam claps me on the shoulder. “What do you feel like doing?” Your sister.

but holding out doesn’t mean that it will mean more… it just means you build it up to an impossible standard.”
“Isn’t love supposed to make everything better?”
“I love you, Heath.” He flinches. “I’m sorry if that’s too much for you to deal with, but I do, and I don’t want to just forget it.”
When you know how something is going to end, it’s harder to enjoy the moment.
If that’s not love, then I don’t know what is. Maybe it’s not supposed to mean the same thing to everyone or maybe it is and it’s about finding someone whose meaning matches yours.
