I was thirteen when I saw my mother die, when I told my story. When I started “having a hard time,” as my grandfather likes to say. Would they have locked me up if I’d been thirty? If I’d been a boy? It’s a question I do not dare to ask.
Maybe this means she believes me. Maybe she trusts me. Or maybe she Lila is just smart enough to know that, given enough rope, eventually, I am bound to hang myself.
Caroline knew what this really is... It is a fourteen-day celebration of a time when people like them killed people like me. – Princess Ann.
Hush, little princess, wait and see. No one’s gonna know that you are me.

We haven’t actually laid eyes on Lila yet, but I can hear her moving around in the room next door, noisy but unseen. Like a very entitled, very tortured poltergeist. I’m half afraid she’ll float through the wall at any minute.
We are students of a twelve-year-old ninja. And we have a lot to learn.
Who is that?” Macey asked. “The reason I wasn’t flirting with you,” Hale told her.
You know Macey McHenry. And you love her – there’s someone you love in there. Well” – Kat drew a breath – “you’re not the only one.
Macey leveled him with a glare. “My school offers a self-defense class. A good one.
The embassy is not haunted. But I am.
I am my own worst enemy. But if there were to be a second place, it would go to this girl.
Eddie had a strict “Do Not Disturb Unless Someone Is Bleeding” policy.
Kat stood there looking at the very boys who had stolen the first tooth she had ever lost and tried to ransom it to the tooth fairy; the two young men who had once stolen a Tyrannosaurus rex from the Museum of Natural History – one bone at a time.
Hi again, Gallagher Girl.
