Susan Richards Shreve quotes:

What Blister knew of romance was everything she'd heard and read. A lot, but not enough to understand exactly what happened between a girl and boy."

I'm sick in the heart," Blister aid, climbing into the carI don't need the doctor.""Heartsick is the worst," Daisy G. said."

Sometimes, Blister was thinking, the only person in the world she could really count on was herself, and that was not enough."
