"you might not have been my first love
but you were the love that made
all the other loves

I'm having feelings this Sunday morning ?

"...love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another."

I'd been on a break from straight up literary fiction for a few months until I started reading this book and oh man it feels so good to be back. This book is SO GOOD.

Shout out to @FranzenComesAlive for being responsible for 90% of my TBR and for recommending this book a while ago on the All the Books podcast. Thank you!

"For the oppressors, "human beings" refers only to themselves; other people are "things."

"It's just... I want to make sure she makes good choices, you know? We're almost in high school. She has to start paying attention to who she hangs out with." (I mean, what'll people think of her if she hangs out with an asian guy?)

Ugh. I wish I read this in high school. I highly recommend it.

"Would you... you know... show me yours?"
"Huh!?"
"Oh my God, no! Your powers! I meant would you show me your powers!"

LOL. Oh, Kamala...
