1 " If I behave as though this is a completely normal situation, then maybe it will be ... "
― Sophie Kinsella , Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (Shopaholic, #2)
2 " People who want to make a million borrow a million first "
3 " Look into your heart- and go after what you really want. "
4 " That's the trouble with having the whole world love you. One day, you wake up and it's flirting with your best friend instead. And you don't know what to do. You're thrown. "
5 " There's no luck in business. There's only drive, determination, and more drive. "
6 " Visiting any shop for the first time is exciting. There's always that buzz as you push open the door; that hope; that belief - that this is going to be the shop of all shops, which will bring you everything you ever wanted, at magically low prices. "
7 " Still, that's the point of love; you love someone despite their flaws. "
8 " Oh fuck. I shouldn't have said that. "
9 " Oh, this shouldn't be allowed. There should be a rule which says that people you've met in the gym should never meet you in real life. "
10 " I'm lying. I don't just need someone like you. I need you. "
11 " Suddenly I've had enough of all this. I've had enough of being made to feel insecure and paranoid and wondering what's going on "
12 " If you're single, then I'm single?" What's that supposed to be? Lyrics to a pop song? "
13 " This is what's so annoying about going out with Luke. You can't get away with anything. "
14 " Why on earth declutter when you can just shrinkwrap? "
15 " Maybe I could... secretly fix a trailer onto the car when Luke ins't looking? Ot maybe I could wear all my clothes, on top of each other, and say I'm feeling a bit chilly... "
16 " You know, this always happens. Whenever I go away, I always think I'll come back to mountains of exciting posts, with parcels and telegrams and letters full of scintillating news - and I'm always disappointed. In fact, I really think someone should set up a company called holidaypost.com which you would pay to write you loads of exciting letters, just so you had something to look forward to when you got home. "
17 " He said when you use your brain, no-one comes near you for ingenuity "
18 " A cold dismay creeps over me. Oh okay, maybe I did once kind of pretend I had a stalker. Which I shouldn't have done. But I mean, just because you invent one tiny stalker - that doesn't make you a complete nut case, does it? "
19 " But there's no point. He's busy with his life - and I'm busy with mine. "
20 " I don't even feel so sure of that any more. I mean, if we were a couple, he'd be here, wouldn't he? He'd be here with me. "
