Quotes from the book:
“It doesn't matter what he did. Feelings like that just don’t go away.”
"My brain knows he's a criminal, but my heart will love him forever."
“Women love to embellish and make things up, to fall in love with the image of the man they imagined for themselves, and not with the real person. No matter how he behaves, I will always find an excuse for him.
