Quotes by Joanna Luloff (?)

“I couldn’t bring myself to admit the truth of our situation—that I was in love with two people who were my only family, and that they were in love with each other. And when I wasn’t feeling like a fool who couldn’t trace the moment when things had shifted, I started to resent my best friends.”
― Joanna Luloff, Remind Me Again What Happened

“There are no memories in my mouth of breakfast or lunch; everything tastes the same. I think I miss spices. Food should hold memories.”
