Welcome to Thursday Quotables! This feature is the place where you highlight a great quote, line or passage you've discovered in a book you're currently reading. Whether it's something heart-warming, heart-breaking, funny or inspiring, Thursday Quotables is where my favourite line(s) of the week will be, and I invite you to join in! It's hosted by Lisa at BookShelf Fantasies, so be sure to check her out :)
The book I'm reading this week is Jesse's Girl by Miranda Kenneally. It's a cute contemporary read about one girl's dream to be a muscian. She gets to follow one of Nashville's most popular singers around for a day, but seeing him get everything reminds her of everything she doesn't have. I've only just started this book, but it's from a cute series and I'm really liking the characters.
"What is it with me and guys? Do I come on too strong? Why do none of them want to stick around? I'm gonna be 40 years old and out on a date with some man, and we'll make out, then he'll tell me we're not to be, and I'll go home to my 14 cats."
This qute isn't exactly inspiring, but I think it's quite true in that it's an insecure feeling we all have of being rejected. Only I'd have 14 dogs instead of cats, haha.
Have you read this book? What quotes grasped your heartstrings this week? Let me know in the comments below!
I think this is a fantastic quote with some strong imaginery and a lot of humour :-)

Right? I love this series, it's always got an amazing romance with great lessons to be learned. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThat quote is so sad but you're right it's an insecure feelings every one had gotten at least once in their life.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty realistic and that's such a sad thing to say! Thank you so much Carrie! Can't wait to do both :D
DeleteYes pretty realistic. You're welcome! :D

It only came out recently, don't worry! It's just as super cute as the rest of the books in that series :)
DeleteOoh, I really liked this book! So far, I've read three of Miranda Kenneally's books, and enjoyed them all. She keeps a light tone, but I love the voice of her characters, and your quote is a great example!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! My favourite of hers is Racing Savannah. All these books have super cute romances with wonderful characters. I love it when the author writes a new book in this series!
