‘Bitterness, she knew, could give you an edge. Unlike pure happiness, bitterness had a taste’
‘To commit to actual things composed of wood and metal and fabric was to make real the vagueness and unreality of love’
‘She was finally not as angry at her parents as she used to be, she realised—they were too marginal for that, too weak—but her connection to them seemed vague, as if she had to remember who exactly these two people were’
‘Greer saw herself now as if through Cory’s vision; she imagined herself seen by him through the doorway, the light in the room gilded’

I definitely enjoyed the themes of this story and the complications that come from college and beyond. I was sort of disappointed with the ending and the lack of a resolution, and the chapter lengths made it feel like a long process to read. Besides that it was a thorough enjoyment!

This book dragged on in parts. I enjoyed some of the smaller nuances and storylines, but was not grabbed by the plot (or lack thereof?). The ending kind of fizzled out; was expecting a bit more!
