"When something is broken, you can put it back together. It may not fit quite the same, or work like it did once before, but that doesn’t mean it’s no longer useful."

Will I be reading the next book? I will be reading everything from this author from now on.

"I am but paper." (When I tell you I SOBBED.)

This book, this book is a PEARL. It warmed my heart and made me gush and I don't remember the last time I was this happy to read a book and this sad to finish it.

"You dear, dear man. How I adore you."
