Wish You Were Her Quotes

“It was impossible to describe Allegra. He knew the human. The girl with the mole on her neck. The girl who would only say "bless you" twice—if you sneezed a third time, she was silent. The girl who picked at her lips when she was nervous. The girl who carried her own hot sauce around. The girl who stared off into space, sometimes for minutes on end. The girl who only made eye contact when she was listening to you, rarely when she was speaking to you. The girl who loathed smelly cheese. The girl who
unconsciously mimicked people's accents. The girl whose entire face transformed when she laughed.
His Allegra. The one millions
would never know.
The one he had
earned through one summer of working with her, and one night in a glass house.”
― Elle McNicoll, Wish You Were Her

“Admiration is calm and quiet, obsession is loud. Obsessed with love or hate, it doesn't matter. It pushes to the front of the line, either way.”
― Elle McNicoll, Wish You Were Her
