This is the last time I ever get a private detective off the internet.
No wife wants to hear that her husband is less than perfect.
But that’s what happens in life. People find new friends and new sisters. It’s called natural selection.
Life would be a lot easier if conversations were rewindable and erasable, like videos.
Why did he have to choose tonight to turn into the perfect husband?
I honestly feel as though I’ve run an obstacle course to get here. In fact, I think, they should list shopping as a cardiovascular activity. My heart never beats as fast as it does when I see a “reduced by 50 percent” sign.
A relationship is a game of chess.
Love is all that counts in this crazy, mixed-up world...
I trail away into silence. I’ve just shared details of my condom use with my son’s teacher. I’m not sure how that happened.
Do you respond to every e-mail you get, Becky?” Luke turns, incredulous. “Do you have a fine selection of Viagra substitutes too?
Mum always says the right thing. She always makes everything better.
In business, if you want to make money, you have to spend money. If you want to have a result, you have to make an investment.
We’re all to driven by materialism. Obsessed with success. With money. With trying to impress people who’ll never be impressed.
I know friends should be supportive of each other’s life decisions and all that.
Mothers are multi-taskers.
You’re so narrow-minded! You live in the same village you grew up in, you run the family business, you’re buying a nursery down the road... you’re practically still in the womb. So before you lecture me on the way to live my life, try living one of your own, OK?
If I’ve learned one lesson from all that’s happened to me, it’s that there is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.
Honestly, it’s so easy to get what you want from people if they think you’re a psycho.
It’s like I’m thirteen again and he’s my crush. All I’m aware of in this entire roomful of people is him. Where he is, what he’s doing, who he’s talking to.
This is what happens. You tell your friends your most personal secrets, and they use them against you.
