I know I use "pulse-pounding" to describe a lot of thrillers I love, but oh my, this description could not be more accurate for Wendy Walker's new book: What Remains. I think my shoulders are still tense from reading this, and I read it on vacation! ...more

I don't think I've ever loved a devious, self-serving narrator more than Rachel Koller Croft's Bea in Stone Cold Fox.

Bea knows she's beautiful, but she's also smart and scheming with her sights set on marrying the blue-blooded heir to the Case fortu

Quotes by Lauren Nossett  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If we ever learn anything, if we can change systems so ingrained in money and power, and if there’s such a thing as justice, or if justice is just one of those lofty ideas that sounds nice in theory but is completely without substance in practice.”
Lauren Nossett, The Resemblance

“I read once that death isn’t instant. Our brains are still ticking for ten minutes or so, even after our hearts stop, meaning that in some way, we may be conscious of our own death.”
Lauren Nossett, The Resemblance

“Justice is blind because we blinded her. So we could choose whom to punish and whom to set free.”
Lauren Nossett, The Resemblance

Topics Mentioning This Author

“I read once that death isn’t instant. Our brains are still ticking for ten minutes or so, even after our hearts stop, meaning that in some way, we may be conscious of our own death.”
Lauren Nossett, The Resemblance

“Young, they will live forever. They tremble with this new awareness, the connections they’re forming with the world around them; their classmates vibrate with an energy that’s so new and exciting that no one notices they’re tripping over power lines, one rogue spark away from disaster.”
Lauren Nossett
tags: life, youth

“I imagine a boy cut adrift, navigating choppy seas. Where is home in your early twenties? A distant blip on the horizon, the place you left, perceived as a failure to return. Instead, you’ve set sail into infinite possibility, eager to make your own way, only to find yourself lost, clutching at a broken compass, with the realization that there never was any real destination to begin with.”
Lauren Nossett

“It’s not true what they say—the truth will set you free. The truth only means you see the walls of your cage.”
Lauren Nossett, The Professor

“Because truth, like anything buried in the bottom of a box, is rarely the balm people think it will be.”
Lauren Nossett, The Professor
