Quote by Sarah Mlynowski

“Tip: Like everywhere else in Europe (except the UK and Switzerland), the Netherlands uses the euro. What is up with you, UK and Switzerland? Euros are super cute!

I shall always remember it with the profoundest gratitude, though, as it was that May, that last May, in the last of my old summers.”
