«This is why crushes are terrible. You go from feeling like life is a flat path one needs only to cruise over to spending every second on an incline, or caught in a weightless, stomach-in-your-throat drop. It’s Mom running out to catch a cab, hair curled and smiling lips painted, only to come home with streaks of mascara down her face. Highs and lows, and nothing in between.»

That's the thing about being an adult standing beside your childhood race car bed. Time collapses, and instead of the version of you you've built from scratch, you're all the hackneyed drafts that came before, all at once.

“You’ve never needed me—”“Of course I don’t!” I’ve worked hard to build a life that’s my own, that no one else could pull a plug on to send me swirling down a cosmic drain.

It’s not casual dating if you know the other person’s blood type.”“I do not know my dates’ blood types,” I say. “All I need from them is a full credit report, a psych eval, and a blood oath.”

“I’m going to see this movie five hundred times,” Libby tells me. “Consecutively.”“Wear a diaper,” I advise.“Not necessary,” she says. “I’ll be crying too much. There won’t be any pee in my body.”“I had no idea you had such a . . . comprehensive understanding of science,” I say.“The last time I read it, I cried so hard I pulled a muscle in my back.”“You should consider exercising more.”“Rude.”

Mom’s theory was that youthful skin would make a woman more money (true in both acting and waitressing), good underwear would make her more confident (so far, so true), and good books would make her happy (universal truth), and we’ve clearly both packed with this theory in mind.

This costs 99 cents. . . . . . . . . . . .I reply, I know—such a bargain! If my professionalism is a gel manicure, then Charlie Lastra is apparently the industrial-grade acetone capable of burning right through it.I search his name on Venmo and send him ninety-nine cents. Another email comes in a second later. He’s sent the dollar back to me, with the note, I’m a grown man, Nora. I can buy my own Bigfoot erotica, thank you very much.

“Here lies Nora Stephens, whose taste was often exceptional and occasionally disturbing.”Don’t judge me based on the Christmas novella, I reply. I haven’t read it.Would never judge you on Bigfoot porn, Charlie says. Would entirely judge you for preferring Once in a Lifetime to The Glory of Small Things.The wine has slipped one Jenga piece too many loose from my brain: I write, IT’S NOT A BAD BOOK!“IT’S NOT A BAD BOOK.” —Nora Stephens, Charlie replies. I think I remember seeing that endorsement on the cover.

the next time I’m babysitting, I’ll hand over the dye and clippers. Afterward I’ll teach them how to roll a joint, like the sexy, cool, fun aunt I am.”Libby snorts. “You wish you knew how to roll a joint. God, I miss weed.

Mosquitoes are worse. I’ve got six new red welts by the time we reach the edge of the town square.Libby hasn’t gotten bitten once. She bats her lashes. “I must be too sweet for them.”“Or maybe you’re pregnant with the Antichrist and they recognize you as their queen.”
