Fav quote:
“When there is only you, you do not get to choose which job you want, you do not get to decide you are incapable of anything. There is no room for distaste or weakness. You must do it all. All of the ugliness, the sadness, the things most people can’t stand to even think about, all must live inside of you. You must be capable of everything.”

Taylor Jenkins Reid knows how to write a strong female lead. This book, like her others, is perfect for tv or a movie. I’ll subscribe immediately to whatever streaming service decides to develop this… the 80’s Malibu costumes and soundtrack alone would be worth it!
