"Sure you weren't."

Nicole put on a frowny face and leaned forward for maximum cleavage exposure. Nathaniel looked. Of course he looked. She practically was shaking her breasts in his face.

I refused to believe that I'd gone from sane to full-blown delusional in one night. After some consideration, I determined I didn't have any other crazy thoughts.

Near as I could tell, I was still on the right side of sane. — Eileen Cook

Tell me the truth. When you were a kid, did you always color inside the lines?"

Eileen Cook Quotes 2139400

She was still getting organized, trying to get the books she'd taken out to fit into the shelf under the stroller. She would shove a book in, and then something, a juice cup, a Binky, or one disturbing Barbie-doll head, would fall out the other side. She would shove that back in, and then something else would leak out the other side. Her stroller was like a poorly designed clown car.

I wasn't aware I was going in the wrong direction. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 638140

Eileen Cook Quotes 642301

Why is it they say you always hurt the ones you love? Because you know exactly how to do it. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 699058

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you do something embarrassing like fall down the stairs in front of a group of people, you are required to act like you are fine, even if you aren't. Your arm could have a bone jutting out, and you would still try to laugh it off as if everything were hunky dory. This compound fracture? It's nothing! I like to let my bones out of my body once in a while for fresh air. It's good for them. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 723860

You better be careful, I've got a ladle. You never know what a trained killer can do with an innocent-looking kitchen utensil.
I don't think you're a trained killer.
So should I be insulted that you think I'm an amateur killer? — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 733739

Why is being an unmarried woman something that we should be ashamed of, as if we've failed? Men don't feel this way. When they haven't married, they make it sound like they've gotten away with something. Their single status makes them even more appealing to the other sex. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 743643

Maybe sometimes you have to take a risk without worrying about the potential disaster. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 745938

Shit. I was stuck. I suspected Dick would skip the hassle of having to ferry me back and forth to talk to someone and instead convince my mom to toss me into a mental ward where I could stay out of his hair and he'd have her all to himself. I imagined myself wearing institutional pajamas and having to eat everything with a spoon because no one would trust me with a fork or knife. Most likely my roommate would be some freakish, giant-size woman who didn't speak because she'd chewed off her own tongue. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 783523

Then it occurred to me: You either waited for someone else to do the right thing, or you stood up and did it yourself. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 934642

Personally, I felt pretty safe. Librarians are like priests. You can tell them you want information on just about any subject and they never look at you weird. It's like a rule or something. I figured even in a small town like this, my question wouldn't be the strangest one the librarian had heard. I didn't know if librarians had any sort of official privacy code, but I was counting on confidence. They're not big talkers. It comes from being forced to be quiet all the time. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1566582

Mr. Winston and I had already discussed:
How what I'd done was vile and on par with kicking disabled kittens.
That I was on the path to becoming a criminal and likely would spend the rest of my life in jail giving myself homemade tattoos with a needle and Bic pen.
That the statue was a work of art, and would I dare to ear the arm off the Mona Lisa? He didn't think so.
That I was a disappointment to him, my family, my boyfriend, my fellow students, and likely all of Western civilization. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1060053

Having someone you can talk to is cool, but it's been my experience that it is a lot harder to find someone you can be quiet with. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1079953

Karma is a bitch, bitch. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1196341

When everyone was falling in and out of love with some random guy they sat next to in history, I never felt swoony or envious. It seemed a waste. Guys, or at least the ones I'd met, didn't seem worth the bother. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1229531

My mom giggled and whacked Dick with a dish towel. I would have whacked him harder with the cutting board, but that was just my preference. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1264655

We reached to shake hands, and as soon as we touched, it felt like a current ran between the two of us. My heart sped up. Our eyes met. Nathaniel cleared his throat, and I realized he was trying to take his hand back and I was holding on to it with a death grip. I dropped his hand like it was a burning log. Oh God, I was turning into a stepbrother groper. He was nice to me, and the next thing he knew, I was hanging off him like a parasite. He was most likely grateful I hadn't thrown myself at his face for a tongue kiss. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 143792

Popularity is a mathematical formula based on desirability criteria. High schools are a classic anthropological case study, and getting people to respond in the way you want is psychology. All science. It's just not the type of science that you're used to. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1430696

Don't worry, Prima Donna. If you start to look faint, I'll drag your body to safety."
"My name is Hailey."
"Okay, Hailey. I'll drag your prima-donna butt to safety, right after I finish my lunch break — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1446626

Life isn't supposed to be predictable. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1459285

There really isn't a good way to tell a relative stranger that you think dead people are trying to tell you something. It's personal information. It's like telling someone you just met that you have a yeast infection. It might be true, but it's not the kind of thing people want to know about you. Plus, you know that every time they see you after that it will be the first thing they think about: There she is, the girl with the yeast infection/ghost problem. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1471326

I could have gone my entire life without the image of my mom and Dick engaged in a sexual role-playing game. Especially in my clothes. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1484367

You should step out of the box more often. See what the world has to offer."
"I stepped out of the box the night I broke the statue, and look where that got me."
"Exactly! You had a chance to get to know me as a result. Talk about lucky. Think what could happen if you tried again. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1506253

It wasn't like I had a plan, but it wasn't a mistake. — Eileen Cook

Eileen Cook Quotes 1552058

Doesn't just about everybody disappoint their parents? They say all they want is for us to be happy, but what they really want is for us to be their do-over. Their second chance at life. — Eileen Cook
