romantic boys awkward
Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy . . . well.
family school years
I hadn’t been in proper school in three years. My parents were my two best friends. My third best friend was an author who did not know I existed.
life depression real
Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.

Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are… People are different when you can smell them and see them up close…

answers wonder
I'd rather wonder than get answers I couldn't live with.
book challenges conversation

The job of reading is to use stories as a way into seeing other people as a we ourselves.

More than anything, I felt the unfairness of it, the inarguable injustice of loving someone who might have loved you back but can't due to deadness, and then I leaned forward, my forehead against the back of Takumi's headrest, and I cried, whimpering, and I didn't even feel sadness so much as pain.
