Ann Brashares Broken Heart Quotations

She went around with a broken heart, and she wasn't sure who'd broken it. She thought it was herself, mostly.

She'd cried over a broken heart before. She knew what that felt like, and it didn't feel like this. Her heart felt not so much broken as just ... empty. It felt like she was an outline empty in the middle. The outline cried senselessly for the absent middle. The past cried for the present that was nothing.
