“Fighting the desire inside her and becoming friends, only friends, had been painful at first, yet she had done it for Lyric. She had repeated to herself a mantra. It’s not about me, it’s not about me. Not about what she wanted, but what Lyric needed. She had a responsibility to this little one to do more than feed and clothe her, but to show her that she wasn’t alone in the world. That she had a team, people who put her joy first. If it meant she and Stuart had to put their happiness on the shelf, so be it. Until she realized how it had set them free. Friends are not perfect and tidy and forever poised. Friends, true friends, can come to each other with their frayed edges and belly laughs.”

If this is Tanya, where's my red tank top? Later. Beep." She called Douglas, the one boy in school she felt comfortable with. They could talk about anything. His answering machine said, "I'm probably underneath my Camaro, but leave a message for when I'm vertical." Hannah sighed.”

“This shift partly reflects basic social physics. Having a mutual enemy is a quick way to make a friend—we learn this as early as elementary school—and politically, it's much easier to organize people against something than it is to write them in an affirmative vision. And, within the economy of attention, conflict always gets more people to look.”
