“I fall in love with myself and I want someone to share it with me.”
—Eartha Kitt, iconic actress”

I hate to say it, but between Inez, Soledad, Edward and Amber, I wish this book would end.

“I want to know that if I am alone, it doesn’t mean I have to be lonely. That I can be content.”

Made my eye water a little.

It’s safe to say, I WANT to love Soledad’s journey, because I can’t relate, but I loved Yasmin’s more.

Something about Edward not serving YEARS is bothering. I want him to get the max simply cause was constantly degrading and berating Sol, while he was getting chlamydia from Amber and Gerald.

“The silence on the other end thickens with speculation and maybe understanding. Instead of using his one call to phone home and reassure his wife, tell his family what the hell was going on, Edward called someone else. Someone who is not his lawyer.”

Let me find out it’s Amber. I actually want to skip ahead and find out. BUT IM NOT! Ok Ms. Kennedy

“If you’re that horny,” he says, turning to glower at me, “you have a battery-operated solution in your bedside table.”
“Oh, believe me, it’s been earning its keep.”

That alone is grounds for divorce.

“Both boys are on the spectrum, but they present differently. Some people still speak in terms of more or less severe, but it’s all autism. Just different needs that evolve, and we meet them as best we can.”

AND THEN THEY’RE DEALING WITH AUTISM?! Kennedy… MS KENNEDY

“We failed each other epically. Not through cruelty or infidelity, but through neglect.”

Relatable. Except I knew during the dating phase I wasn’t supposed to marry that man.
