"Starting a new book is a risk, just like falling in love. You have to commit to it. You open the pages, knowing a little bit about it maybe, from the back or from a blurb on the front. But who knows, right? Those bits and pieces aren't always right."
"Sometimes people advertise themselves as one thing, and then when you get deep into it, you realize that they're something completely different. Either there was some good marketing attached to a terrible book, or the story was only explained in a superficial way and once you reach the middle of the book, you will realize there's so much more to this book than anyone could have ever told you."
