And like my dad always said, the first step is always the hardest.

You knew the truth all along, Colie. That's all matters. You knew.

How weird that must be, to stay the same as everyone else changes.

My experience is that sequels are rarely as good as the originals.

The only trick was never giving more that you were willing to lose.

Friends are honest with each other. Even if the truth hurts. -Maggie

I seriously doubt that the Santa police do an underwear check." -Cora

You bought me some forks. And knives. And spoons. Because you love me!

If you have just one person believe in you, you'll always find your way

This was our common ground, the secret we shared but never spoke aloud.

But it was okay not to fit in everywhere, as long as you did somewhere.

The world is speaking to you every day, you just don't know how to listen.

If this was my instinct talking, I didn‟t want to hear what it was saying.

Don't give me no rotten tomato, 'cause all I ever wanted was your sweet potato.

So it just wasn't in my house. Anywhere, I looked like I knew about the toilet.

Each time, I think I'm never going to write another book. It never gets easier.
