    E. Lockhart
    “Then he pulled out a handgun and shot me in the chest. I was standing on the lawn and I fell. The bullet hole opened wide and my heart rolled out of my rib cage and down into a flower bed. Blood gushed rhythmically from my open wound,
    then from my eyes,
    my ears,
    my mouth.
    It tasted like salt and failure. The bright red shame of being unloved soaked the grass in front of our house, the bricks of the path, the steps of the porch. My heart spasmed among the peonies like a trout.”

    “Now, he was free to go forth and make a name for himself in the wide, wide world.
    And maybe,
    just maybe,
    he'd come back one day,
    and burn that
    fucking
    palace
    to the ground”

    "I'm here.”

    Allyse Near
    “A memory: Isola as a toddler, sugarlump teeth, skin still smelling of milk. Hair that curled without use of an iron and sweet dresses that didn’t matter were dirtied. When she was old enough, she demanded the usual suspects at bedtime: The Little Mermaid, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast.
    Even then, Mother’s contempt for non-Pardieu fairytales was obvious.
    ‘Hmph,’ she snorted derisively, folding up her knees to perch on Isola’s bed. ‘Listen to me, Isola. The original Beauty’s just an encouragement to young women to accept arranged marriages. What it’s really saying to impressionable girls is, “Don’t worry if your new husband is decades older than you, or ugly, or horrid. If you’re sweet and obedient enough, you might just discover he’s a prince in disguise!’’

    Mother’s Most Lasting Advice
    ‘Never be that girl, Isola. Never pick the beast or the wolf on the off-chance he won’t devour you.”

    “Hey Nana,
    If Cinderella's glass slipper fits so perfectly, I wonder why it fell off along the way? I can't help but think that it was on purpose, to attract the prince's affections. No matter what I do, I'll still have the fate of a girl who just keeps getting hurt, wondering if she can be happy in this pointless, one man show?”
