Darling, when things go wrong in life, you lift your chin, put on a ravishing smile, mix yourself a little cocktail…

You can want and want and want, but if he doesn’t want you back … you might as well wish the sky were red.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings… I simply remember I have a boyfriend and suddenly things don’t seem quite so completely shit.

We’re all to driven by materialism. Obsessed with success. With money. With trying to impress people who’ll never be impressed.

Oh God, I’m miss­ing the gene which makes you grow up and buy a flat in Streatham and start visiting Homebase every weekend. Everyone’s moving on without me, into a world I don’t understand.

It’s the way he had a cup of tea waiting for me when I woke up. It’s the way he turned on his laptop especially for me to look up all my Internet horoscopes and...

I’d laugh, only my stupid lizard brain has disabled the laugh button for now. I’m too frozen up with tension.I am owed so much laughter. Sometimes I hope I’m building up a stockpile of missing...

Above all, staring at my old bedroom ceiling, I feel safe. Cocooned from the world; wrapped up in cotton wool. No one can get me here. No one even knows I’m here. I won’t get...

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...

…you may be able to sway people’s heads. But you can’t sway their hearts.

I feel all agitated, like one of those snow globes you see resting peacefully on shop counters. I was perfectly happy being an ordinary, dull little Swiss village. But now Jack Harper’s come and shaken...

Some of us have hearts, you know. Some of us don’t give up on true love.

Mothers are multi-taskers.

But you can’t stay with people because of guilt. Or because they can drive a speedboat.

That’s the trouble with having the whole world love you. One day, you wake up and it’s flirting with your best friend instead. And you don’t know what to do. You’re thrown.

You look… amazing!” And I have to say, I agree. I’m wearing all black – but expensive black. The kind of deep, soft black that you fall into. A simple sleeveless dress from Whistles, the...

A man will never love you or treat you as well as a store. If a man doesn’t fit, you can’t exchange him seven days later for a gorgeous cashmere sweater. And a store always...

How are you going to forget him if you keep talking about him? Darling, when things go wrong in life, this is what you do. You lift your chin, put on a ravishing smile, mix...

It really is the year 2007. Which means I must be…Oh my God. I’m twenty-eight.I’m old.

Look into your heart- and go after what you really want.

There’s nothing like your mother’s sympathetic voice to make you want to burst into tears.

I love new clothes. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday, I reckon depression wouldn’t exist anymore.

Love is all that counts in this crazy, mixed-up world…

If you look good, you feel good

The thing about lying to your parents is, you have to do it to protect them.It’s for their own good.

As I stare at it,I can feel little invisible strings,silently tugging me toward it. I have to touch it. I have to wear it. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

sometimes you don’t need a goal in life, you don’t need to know the big picture. you just need to know what you’re going to do next!

I’m allergic to family occasions. Sometimes I think we’d do better as dandelion seeds-no family, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff.

Our whole family thrives under pressure. It’s like our family motto or something.Apart from my brother Peter, of course. He had a nervous break down. But the rest of us.

We’re playing Scrabble. It’s a nightmare.””Scrabble?” He sounds surprised. “Scrabble’s great.””Not when you’re playing with a family of geniuses, it’s not. They all put words like ‘iridiums’. And I put ‘pig’.

This is what happens. You tell your friends your most personal secrets, and they use them against you.

Don’t think about it. Don’t think about what could have been. It’s too unbearable.

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...

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...

Family’s the most important thing.

Your job is obviously very pressured.””I thrive under pressure,” I explain. Which is true. I’ve known that about myself ever since…Well. Ever since my mother told me when I was about 8.

If I behave as though this is a completely normal situation, then maybe it will be …

Relationships should be built on trust and truth.

I need to backtrack. I need to reboot.Do not save changes

They said I was a valued customer, now they send me hate mail.

Rule of life. If you bother to ask someone’s advice, then bother to listen to it.

Relationships are all about trust and equality. If one person shares, then the other person should share, too.

People who want to make a million borrow a million first

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...

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.

I once tried to give him a friendly little “drugs chat”. He politely corrected me on every single fact, then said he’d noticed I drank above the recommended guidelines of Red Bull and did I...

I´m going to make my life work for me. I´m not going to let it whirl round like a kaleidoscope anymore. It´s my life, wich means wrestling i to the floor and bashing it on...
