Quotes by Lisa Jewell  (?)

“When I read a book it feels like real life and when I put the book down it's like I go back into the dream.”
Lisa Jewell, Then She Was Gone

“They weren’t bad books,” Phin countered patiently. “They were books that you didn’t enjoy. It’s not the same thing at all. The only bad books are books that are so badly written that no one will publish them. Any book that has been published is going to be a ‘good book’ for someone.”
Lisa Jewell, The Family Upstairs

“A man who can’t love but desperately needs to be loved is a dangerous thing indeed.”
Lisa Jewell, Then She Was Gone
