Jennifer Salvato Doktorski Hi, Mary,

Quotes by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I know women are supposed to stand on their own and all. I get that. But every once in a while it doesn't hurt to wish for a fairy godmother, a little magic, and a happy ending.”
Jennifer Salvato Doktorski, How My Summer Went Up in Flames

“First I lost my heart. Then I lost my mind.”
Jennifer Salvato Doktorski, How My Summer Went Up in Flames

“I don't know how long we stay that way, but we watch the sun go down together. The giant, burnt-orange sphere sinks towards the horizon, coloring the rock layers until it's gone and the canyon is covered in shadow.”
Jennifer Salvato Doktorski, How My Summer Went Up in Flames
