a few of the many insights in Holly Bourne’s When We Were Friends

“That song [“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” by Carole King) is the most true song that’s ever been written.” p175

“Speaking so loudly [about football] and with such arrogant authority that everyone else sort of had to listen.” p219

“Is it just me or is it crazy that football chat is taken seriously when it’s basically astrology for men? … They never have mercury going into retrograde as a news segment, do they?” p220

“I wanted him to want me to stay. I would’ve stayed all night happily, if only he’d asked me one question about myself and listened to the answer.” p240

And p401-2. All of it, every line.
