Notable Quotes
"We get so used to twenty-four-year-old actors playing high school students, and we seem so mature in our own memories, that we forget actual teenagers have limited vocabularies, have bad posture and questionable hygiene, laugh too loud, don’t know how to dress for their body types, want chicken nuggets and macaroni for lunch. It’s easier to see the twelve-year-olds they just were than the twenty-year-olds they’ll soon be."
"You don’t have to have been friends with someone to be old friends with them later."
"It was the one where she walked around in her skin and her bones for the rest of her life but her body was never recovered. You know the one."
