Quotes

My phone is one of those crushes that sucks up every ounce of energy and gives nothing back. Pretty sure I’ve had a couple of those. I can’t remember the names, but I can feel the scars.

Tanaz starts off with a bang

Quote• Posted on January 9, 2021 by Jennifer

I wish I’d packed something more nightclub appropriate before I left LA, but I didn’t know I’d be impersonating a rich socialite to get into a club.

Pack for everything

Quote• Posted on January 6, 2021 by Jennifer

“When I was young, I looked at people our age and I assumed my life was sorted out. It never occurred to me that when I got to sixty- three I’d be in the most appalling mess.”

You’re never truly sorted out

Quote• Posted on December 19, 2020 by Jennifer

Mimi asks a thousand questions a minute. I think it’s because she’s American, and American children are unnecessarily carefree and independent.

American perception

Quote• Posted on December 13, 2020 by Jennifer

When you live opposite schedules

Quote• Posted on December 3, 2020 by Jennifer

“What’s your evidence? What makes you such a screwup?”

“Um.” I look up at her. “I mean . . . I vomited on your boss.”

“Okay, but look at all the people you didn’t vomit on.”

I nod slowly. “That’s a low bar for success.”

Setting the bar

Quote• Posted on November 22, 2020 by Jennifer

“But you didn’t just say you were sorry. You didn’t do that again.”

“We had other fights.”

“Yeah,” I said. “But we never had the same fight twice.”
