from the last 4 fictional books I've read.

• "'I suppose the important thing is to make some sort of difference,' she said. 'You know, actually change something.'" - One Day, David Nicholls. Rating: 4.5/5
• "Dear friend, I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have." - The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky. Rating: 2/5
• "She arrives glowing from the effort of running, strands of red hair coming loose from her kerchief (she tucks them in), marks on her neck like bruises on fruit." - Girl Reading, Katie Ward. Rating: 4/5
• "What about a teakettle?" - Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer. Rating: 5/5
