Welcome back to Thursday Quotables! This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage discovered during your reading each week.  Whether it’s something funny, startling, gut-wrenching, or just really beautifully written, Thursday Quotables is where my favorite lines of the week will be, and you’re invited to join in!

She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick
(published April 22, 2014)

Love is a funny thing, and once again I really don’t mean it’s amusing. I mean it’s odd. Strange. Weird.

There was a time not so long ago, because I can remember it, when Mum and Dad loved each other. It was obvious, in the things that they did, and the way that they were, and the way they called each other “honey.”

But I no longer believed that they did. It was obvious, in the things that they did, and the way that they were. And the way they called each other “honey.” In just the wrong tone of voice, through teeth held tight.

Intrigued? Check out my review of this new YA novel, here.
