Heart Quote by Rainbow Rowell
““He got why Eleanor tried so hard to look different. Sort of. It was because she was different—because she wasn’t afraid to be. (Or maybe she was just more afraid of being like everyone else.) There was something really exciting about that. He liked being near that, that kind of brave and crazy.””
