“Love is like war; easy to begin, hard to end.”

“Maybe we tried so hard to be like the Sisterhood because it was easy for them and we wanted it to be easy for us. Because they were lucky and we wanted to be lucky too.

“Carmen was bad at loving. She loved too hard.”

“I picture you four girls back when you were small. I hardly knew where you ended and the other ones started.”

“Carmen didn't like change, and she certainly didn't like endings.”

“Grief was like a newborn, and the first three months were hard as hell, but by six months you'd recognized defeat, shifted your life around, and made room for it.”

“But like everything else, love changed.”
