Favourite Quotes: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Trousers. Honestly.”
“We both got our Point Zero wishes - each other. He said he wished for me every time.”

“The first thing I notice is his hair - it's the first thing I notice about anyone. It's dark brown and messy and somehow both long and short at the same time. I think of the Beatles, since I've just seen them in Meredith's room. It's artist's hair. Musician hair. I-pretend-I-don't-care-but-I-really-do hair.”

don’t want to lose it.”
