Misunderstanding and distrust—the predominant elements of a novel. Without them, everyone lives happily from beginning.

A great book increases my heartbeat as if I’m prey, melts my insides in anticipation of a first kiss, immerses me in its depths.

You'll never get to the happily ever after if you don't move past the current chapter...

Love is a cloth which imagination embroiders.
