Harriet Evans, A Hopeless Romantic

"No, she learned that true love was epic stuff, as told by Mary."

"Not to be with the one you love, Laura, the one person you should be spending your life with--it’s like a kind of living death. To wake up every morning and know you are still here. To have that brief, sweet moment of blankness, before your mind reminds you who you are, and why you are unhappy. It was like hell. A living hell of the heart’s own making."

"You don't fall in love with someone because it's convenient."
