“Julie swallowed. "Flat Finn is on Facebook?" She'd love to see those status updates. 'Got strapped to the roof of the car today for a trip to Starbucks. Would have loved to taste caramel mocha, but can't move arms and so was forced to stare longingly at delicious hot beverage. Will the taunting never end?”

“If you can't stop thinking about someone's update, that's called "status cling.”

“For a few brief moments, Matt got to hold Julie in his arms. And that gift? That would stay with him forever.”

“Julie crossed her arms. “I’m serious. Flat Finn can’t possibly go to school with her, right?”“He already went to Brandeis so, no, he doesn’t need to repeat seventh grade.

The romantic lead.''I know that, too,' he said. Matt did not hesitate a moment longer. 'Julie, I love you. I absolutely love you.''Good,' Celeste said, satisfied. 'Now it's time to jump.”
