“...a really good friend, the kind of friend who - when they were together both of them were more able to be who they really were.”

“Adam looked at Them. They were his kind of people, too.You just had to decide who your friends really were.”

“You always knew after shitty things happened, who your friends really were.”

“She wasn't sure who were family & who were friends, and maybe they all were both, and maybe it didn't matter one bit.”

“But as you age, you lose other, even more important things, like friends-hopefully only bad friends, who maybe weren't as good for you as you once thought. With luck, you'll be able to hang on to your true friends, the ones who were always there for you....even when you thought they weren't.Because friends like that are more precious then all the tiaras in the world”

“If these yarns were trash - and millions of parents must have regarded them as such - then they were the best of all kinds of trash. They were trash for connoisseurs of trash. Trash for people who understood just how good trash could really be.”
