Buying Quote by Sophie Kinsella

“You're so narrow-minded! You live in the same village you grew up in, you run the family business, you're buying a nursery down the road... you're practically still in the womb. So before you lecture me on the way to live my life, try living one of your own, OK?” quote by Sophie Kinsella
