“Her heartbeat picks up, her pulse fluttering through her neck and wrists. She loves this part, loves the moment before she pulls off a job—the heat, the cold, the rush. It’s terrifying and delicious, like teetering out over the edge of a building, her fingers tight on the safety railing. She can see how everything could go horribly wrong, but that rational part of her is tamped down, silenced by the beauty of the fall.”
― Emily Lloyd-Jones, Illusive

― Lauren Myracle, This Boy

“I often get a particular wrinkled-nose look from Mom: mild revulsion mixed with fondness, as if she can’t quite believe she made me, this large, sometimes stinky, always untidy boy who double dips and chugs orange juice out of the carton even though she begs me not to.”
― Lauren Myracle, This Boy

“Paul, watching you hallucinate is boring as fuck,â€� Roby said. “If you want to chill, great. If you’re going to drink your stupid purple drank, I’m going to take off.â€� And he did. I kept drinking my stupid purple drank, and he left.”

― Lauren Myracle, This Boy

“Roby thought he should get “dibsâ€� on Natalia because he claimed her first, that’s what he was arguing. I’m not convinced it works that way. Natalia has dibs on herself, that’s what I think.”

“Harry, there is never a perfect answer in this messy, emotional world. Perfection is beyond the reach of humankind, beyond the reach of magic. In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show them your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
