Melissa Broder Quote: “All that mattered was what I ate, when I ate, and how I ate it.”
Melissa Broder Quote: “But if Adam wanted me, there were others who would want me, maybe many others, even some who didn’t read Bukowski.”

Perhaps what I had with Theo was as synthetic as what Claire had with her men, but it felt so good- how could we ever even care when we were in it?”
Melissa Broder Quote: “I decided that love is when you have food in your mouth that you know is not going to make you fat. Lust is when you have food in your mouth that is going to make you fat. Fear is the day after you had food in your mouth that is going to make you fat.”
Melissa Broder Quote: “I wanted to negate myself somehow, as if you could just sign up to vanish. As if you could sign up to really be alive, but as someone else.”
Melissa Broder Quote: “Maybe we can kiss.”
