    "She hadn’t understood how exhausting and heartbreaking it had been to hide such a big part of herself all these years, to reshape and contort herself into something more acceptable. She hadn’t realised just how heavy her mask had been until she’d discovered what it was to live without it."

    Ugh, how I feel for Mika 🥺

    "To be loved and accepted as we are? Isn't that the thing we're all searching for?"

    Yes, yes it is. 😭

    "I don't pretend to know much about people, but one thing I've noticed over the years is that some people are nice and some people are kind ... Niceness is good manners, and stopping to give someone directions, and smiling at the overworked cashier at the supermarket. These are all good things, but they have nothing to do with what's underneath. Niceness is all about what we do when other people are looking. Kindness, on the other hand, runs deep. Kindness is what happens when no one's looking."

    As someone who is, admittedly, sometimes not the nicest (a la Jamie), I really like how she explains this 🫶

    "Oh. Oh no. He'd pushed the sleeves of his white button-down shirt up past his elbows. She could see his forearms. "Forearms were invariably her ruin."
