“everyone wants their story to have a strong protagonist, a peppy female lead who takes no bullshit. But some people are tired and some people are sick and some people do take bullshit, and those people need stories, too; those people deserve to be remembered, too.”

“Jada had held signs bearing the slogan before, marched in the streets after the election with her poster board and bubble letters, but the words felt newly charged, and she realized that until now the "my" in MY BODY, MY CHOICE had seemed not truly to apply to her but only to other women. She felt guilty, contrite, now that she had come to see her belief in her own exceptionalism for what it was. She had thought she could be smart enough, careful enough, impermeable enough not to need the rights she marched for. Everything had still been hypothetical then.”

“Maddy is angry with her younger self for not fully appreciating moments like these when she was alive inside them, though she does not know what it would mean to do so. What could she have done inside those scenes but let them unreel at the same old pace? A minute is a minute whether you think about it or not; an hour is an hour. She could not have prolonged those turquoise afternoons with her mother, nor purified them, if she’d had the foresight of loss to realize what they’d one day come to mean to her. Probably, if she had had such foresight, it would only have spoiled the moment, injecting her innocence with preemptive grief.”
