And now I realize Lindsay's not fearless. She's terrified. She's terrified that people will find out she's faking, bullshitting her way through life, pretending to have everything together when really she's just floundering like the rest of us. Lindsay, who will bite at you if you even look in her direction the wrong way, like on of those tiny attack dogs that are always barking and snapping in the air before they're jerked backward on the chains that keep them in one place.
Lauren OliverThis is the language of the world beforeโa world of chaos and confusion and happiness and despairโbefore the blitz turned streets to grids, cities to prisons, and hearts to dust.
