Choice Quote: literature

“She had the swagger of a girl. She blushed like a boy. She had a girl’s toughness. She had a boy’s gentleness. She was a meaty as a girl. She was as graceful as a boy. Ash was as brave and handsome and rough as a girl. She was as pretty and delicate and dainty as a boy. She turned girls’ heads like a boy. She made love like a boy. She made love like a girl. She was so boyish it was girlish, so girlish it was boyish, she made me want to rove the world writing our names on every tree. I had simply never found anyone so right. ”
