Here are a few more great quotes from Namey:
“Fake potted plants brushed against buttermilk-white walls. Rows of fluorescent light tubes jiggled and buzzed, shrinking me like a hamster in a too-bright cage.”
“He trapped my waist in the tight circle of his arms, angling his face so close to mine, I doubted even a sheet of paper could fit between us.”
“‘You’re downright extraordinary.’ Oh. A perfect, beautiful word. I wanted to wear it around my wrist, the first gift a boy had ever given me.”
