I’ve never felt so bereft and panicky. What do I do without my phone? How do I function? My hand keeps automatically reaching for my phone in its usual place in my pocket. Every instinct in me wants to text someone, ‘OMG, I’ve lost my phone! ‘ but how can do that without a bloody...

She’s been used to hiding her feelings for so long, no wonder her manner can be a little awkward.

Lover? I don’t know. I don’t know if she loves me. I don’t know if I love her. All I can say is, she’s the one I think about. All the time. She’s the voice I want to hear. She’s the face I hope to see.

When you read my texts, you saw a curt, miserable git. And you told me so. Maybe you’re right. But you know what I saw when I read yours? – SamNo. And I don’t want to know. – PoppyI saw a girl who races to help others but doesn’t help herself. And right now you...

Everyone knows revenge is a dish best served when you’ve had enough time to build up enough vitriol and fury.

The thing with giving up is you never know. You never know whether you could have done the job. And I’m sick of not knowing about my life.

There’s no luck in business. There’s only drive, determination, and more drive.

We’re on this planet for too short a time. And at the end of the day, what’s more important? Knowing that a few meaningless figures balanced—or knowing that you were the person you wanted to be?
