Rainbow Rowell quotes about
alien bookstores came earth girls magazines teen
If you were an alien who came to our bookstores - or browsed our teen magazines - you'd think that only Earth girls who look like Mila Kunis ever got any action.
decide extremely fall love people romantic selling terrible vague watch
When I watch a romantic comedy, I feel like they're selling something that doesn't exist. Two beautiful, but extremely unpleasant, people are terrible to each other for an hour, accidentally kiss, then decide to like each other during an extremely vague montage. That isn't how people fall in love.
attraction god thank
Attraction is what happens between you. It's not universal. And it's not conventional. And thank God for that.
romantic
It's very difficult, I think, especially on two cellphones, to have a romantic conversation.
love
When you actually fall in love, no one sees that other person the way that you do.
character female single written
In my mind, every single female character I've written is plus-size.
bad
Our cellphones can do everything, but they're bad at letting us talk to each other.

I definitely had a hard time leaving for college because I'm not much of a risk-taker.
came liked people
When 'Attachments' came out and people liked it, I'd have a warm feeling of having made a connection.

With fandom, people are sensitive, and sometimes defensive, about their experiences.
written
I'd never written a novel before, and I wrote a novel, and that turned out OK.
asked likes male people point three whether
In 'Attachments,' which is told from a male point of view, people asked me if a man would really think that much about whether a woman likes him. But I have a husband and three brothers, and they're all like that.
crave cut definitely love plays restricted romance seem
I can't seem to help writing love stories. I definitely crave romance. When I was young, I craved romance in books, but I didn't want to read just romance - love plays such a big part in our lives, it shouldn't be cut out and restricted to its own fiction.
along beauty believed plot saw spectrum
I think, when I was younger, I believed in - and yearned for - conventional beauty. I thought there was a spectrum from ugly to beautiful, and that you could objectively plot everyone you saw along it.
