... but that's the beauty of boarding school. I make all my own decisions, small and medium, while the big ones are left up to the Prefect Academy - and as far as boys go, to the only expert I know - Suzanne Santry
Really? We are being herded on a bus to drive across town to an all-boy academy where we disembark and join our lonely counterparts on a dance floor. Sounds like a scorecard situation to me.
The dance that I wasn't going to attend in about a jillion years just turned into a make-out session with random boys we have never met.
This is one of those times when explaining a feeling cannot measure up to actually having the feeling
Romy had never done a budget, Marisol had never designed costumes and sets, and Suzanne had never acted, but when I asked them to help, they didn't hesitate
We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets, and then just like real sisters, we listen and don't judge.
But what Mom never told me is that along the way, you find sisters, and they find you. Girls are cool that way.
This is where men and women are different, we can put aside petty competition for relationships - they can't. It interferes.
I like it when my mother smiles. And I especially like it when I make her smile.
Adoro ver os barcos no rio Hudson, mas é muito diferente de estar num que balança e galga as ondas. Admira-me que a viagem seja tão agitada, porque do cais os barcos parecem deslizar sobre a água. Não se passa o mesmo com o amor? Parece tão sim...

Book clubs are the best thing that has happened to the world of publishing.
I'm very organized - and the best thing - when you love your work, you don't mind putting in 15 hour days. It's joyful.
I come from hardworking, determined people on both sides of my family... the kind who live with a hard reality from which much strength comes.
Food is so important - it sustains us, it provides a social focal point, and it is fun. I cannot unravel the difference between love in my family and the preparation of food because they are so closely woven.
You never know when some small thing will lead to a big idea. Travel is very inspirational - but it's in the ordinary that I find my themes of love and work and family.
If there is one thing I hope my books do always and forever, it's that they honor working people.
