1 " I’m basically trying to throw sprinkles on top of a broccoli sundae, hoping to make it look more appealing. "
― Sarah Adams , The Enemy (It Happened in Charleston, #2)
2 " I feel my heart physically crack a little. It’s both painful and healing at the same time. "
3 " I’m just grateful that no one has come into the shop during this soap opera. Here, try our newest donut: French vanilla with a hint of ‘my best friend is leaving forever’ tears. "
4 " And now it’s just me and Ryan all alone in the corner of this dark, loud bar. The perfect place to murder someone and get away with it. "
5 " Point is, I’ve got a lot going for me now. Career success. Tons of friends—because family makes the best friends, am I right? And I’m at least four inches taller than I was in high school (read: two inches). "
6 " It’s good to be back in the world. Are the Kardashians still famous? "
7 " I’m on fire right now. Somewhere in the world, Taylor Swift is feeling a tingle down her spine because of this Bad Blood reenactment. I feel like I could run a marathon or lift a truck from all the adrenaline coursing through my veins. "
8 " Some of us need to live through the healing rather than talk through it. "
9 " You looked me right in the eyes and said, ‘You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to date you, Ryan Henderson. Mark my words. One day, I will move to this city and date a sophisticated man and—'” “I’ll be a sophisticated, sexy lady, and my man will pick up Chinese takeout after work and bring it back to our fancy apartment, and he’ll be wearing a fancy suit from his fancy job, and we will drink fancy wine and watch my favorite movie.” A laugh bubbles through me. “And then I told you that you could never be sophisticated like that.” He’s chuckling too now. “As if Chinese takeout and fancy wine is the most sophisticated and grown-up thing in the world. "
10 " He pauses and looks down at Sam who is hanging on Ryan’s every word like he’s giving the exact directions to Shawn Mendes’s personal residence. "
11 " One of the last serious talks I had with my mom was about respecting women and respecting myself. "
12 " can think of at least one hundred things that could go wrong tonight. But all of them happen to Ryan. 1) I slip a laxative into his drink. 2) I squirt super glue onto his seat before he sits down. 3) I set his car on fire. (Don’t worry, I’ll wait until he’s out of it…maybe.) "
13 " I don’t know what all crap Ben pulled to pollute your self-esteem, but from now on, when you want a pretzel, get a damn pretzel. "
14 " that means, all this time, I thought he hated me, and he thought I hated him, but really we were both crazy about each other. "
