The Dead Romantics

“Might've saved yourself there. The heroine in the book is so dry and salty and apathetic -- about everything." Ben winced. "He probably thought that meant a strong female character." I threw up my hands. "I know, right? A woman can be emotional and vibrant and love things. That doesn't make her weak or inferior--argh! I'm not going to rant about it, it'll just make me upset.”

“I'd always written how grief was hallow. How it was a vast cavern of nothing. But I was wrong. Grief was the exact opposite.

“I can't begin to express how much your book helped me. I could open it and get lost in your words, and in those moments, it felt like everything would be okay. So, thank you for giving me words when I didn't think there were any left. I hope you never stop giving the world your words.”

“Giving you Annie's legacy and watching it flourish was under your pen was a blessing. And this? And suddenly this no longer felt like a conversation. It felt like a goodbye. These last few days have been beautiful. It's a good ending, darling. And as your editor I have no notes”

“if he found a book misplaced at a bookstore, would return it to the shelf where it belonged. Everything had its place. He was a bullet journal guy, and I was a sticky note kind of girl.”
