"Exposure by Ava Dellaira absolutely gutted me in the most beautiful way! The author’s ability to write grief and longing so intimately is amazing. This isn’t just a book just about loss, but how we try to hold on, and who we become in the aftermath. "

“I think a lot of people want to be someone, but we are scared that if we try, we won't be as good as everyone imagines we could be.”

“And maybe what growing up really means is knowing that you don't have to be just a character, going whichever way the story says. It's knowing you could be the author instead.”
― Love Letters to the Dead
― Love Letters to the Dead
“What I told you about saving people isn't true. You might think it is, because you might want someone else to save you, or you might want to save someone so badly. But no one else can save you, not really. Not from yourself. [...] You fall asleep in the foothills, and the wolf comes down from the mountains. And you hope someone will wake you up. Or chase it off. Or shoot it dead. But when you realize that the wolf is inside you, that's when you know. You can't run from it. And no one who loves you can kill the wolf, because it's part of you. They see your face on it. And they won't fire the shot.”
