Ruta SepetysI leapt eagerly into books. The characters’ lives were so much more interesting than the lonely heartbeat of my own.
About This Quote
Why would anyone want to live their life when they could be reading about someone else’s life inside a book? The characters in books can be people who are more interesting, more charismatic, and more mind-bogglingly gorgeous than the people in your own life. And if you don’t like their real-life selves, they’re completely fictional and nothing like them at all.
