She's a fashion model who has everything: a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend. But when a sudden freeway "accident" leaves her disfigured and incapable of speech, she is transformed from the beautiful center of attention to an invisible monster, so hideous that no one will acknowledge she exists. Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, one operation away from becoming a real woman, who will teach her that reinventing yourself means erasing your past and making up something better. And that salvation hides in the last places you'll ever want to look.
almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love. First, your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life. sometimes your best way to deal with shit, is to not hold yourself as such a precious little prize. do the things that scare you the most. I want out of labels. I dont want my whole life cram...

almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love.
First, your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life.
sometimes your best way to deal with shit, is to not hold yourself as such a precious little prize.
do the things that scare you the most.
I want out of labels. I dont want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, someplace to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.
this was the biggest mistake i could think of that would save me. I wanted to give up the idea i had an control. shake things up. to be saved by chaos. to see if I could cope, I wanted to force myself to grow again. To explode my comfort zone.
be a big social experiment in getting what you don't want. find value in what we've been taught is worthless. find good in what the world says is evil. I'm giving you my life because i want the whole whold to know you. I wish the whole world would embrace what it hates.
find what you're afraid of most and go live there.
when we don’t know who to hate, we hate ourselves. nothing of me is original. i am the combined effort of everybody i’be every known. when did the future switch from being a promise to a threat? the one you love and the one that loves you are never, ever the same person.

No matter how careful you are, there's always going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin you didn't experience at all. There's that fallen-heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying more attention.

帕拉尼克的这本，亮点在亲子关系上，而不是什么同性恋未婚夫跟变性闺蜜睡了之类的狗血言情段子。圣诞节那段儿简直就是性病种类大科普。我以前看书评的时候，最想不明白的是，很多人读吸血鬼狼人啊（暮光之城）读龙啊（冰火）读得津津有味，然后指责帕拉尼克的故事太奇怪或者说太脱离现实。。。。结尾有些弱，太遗憾了
