The kind of book that makes you love the dramatic romanticization of everyday life.

The kind of book that reminds you of your sister.

• It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.
• My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.
• People laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven’t you?
• Because when you are imagining, you might as well imagine something worthwhile.
• There’s such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I’m such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn’t be half so interesting.
