“Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls?

When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
- Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (shared by Haley Wofford)
