Okay done crying here is a bunch of quotes and lines that I liked from the book or felt represented it pretty well.
“I started to picture the world without me in it“ -page 115.
“I added nothing - I had no hopes, no real tangible dreams that would make any lasting impact. If I was gone. Worst case scenario some pizzas wouldn’t be delivered on time. -page 116.
“You don’t have to be sorry. He didn’t die sad.
He died stupid.“-page 120.
“My heads a mess everywhere I go, I seem to find a way to trap myself. Most days, I can ignore it, but like anything really open and forgotten, it begins to rot. There are just too many thoughts, memories. I can’t look at anything and not think of something else.” -page 127.
“Jenny was more a person to me than mum ever had been” -page 136.
*Possible spoilers ahead*
“I love you,” he said “I love you so much and I’m so mad at you and I can’t even tell you how mad I am at you. The other day I woke up and went into our bathroom. The water was all over the floor, you’d left the sink running all night. I went back into the room, ready to fight about it, wanting to fight about it, but when I open the door you were just sitting up in bed, looking out the window. I stood in the doorway for a full five minutes, and you didn’t even turn your head.”
He looked up at me, tears dripping off his cheeks, and I wished he had hit me.
“What do you do in the shed in the backyard every night?”
Hit me, I can’t have this conversation, hit me, please, anything other than this.” -Page 160 to 161.
“Even if I never picked up the phone and heard her voice on the other end, I would’ve found something to lose myself in-If you were pushed off a cliff, you’d grab hold of anything resembling safety.“ - page 189.
