You become a reader by reading the literature, not by reading the handbooks about it.
AIDAN CHAMBERS -
If you’re passionate and emotional, they make you passionate and emotional about your worse fears.
AIDAN CHAMBERS -
How do I think of you? As someone I want to be with. As someone as young as me, but “older,” if that makes sense. As someone I like to look at, not just because you’re good to look at, but because just looking at you makes me smile and feel happier.

AIDAN CHAMBERS -

AIDAN CHAMBERS -
I don’t actually think “true love” is such a good term because love can only be true. If it isn’t true it can’t be love.
AIDAN CHAMBERS -
I will not compromise on language or content. At 15, people can handle the same language as me, they’re just as complicated as me and are very interested in thinking about important questions for the first time.
AIDAN CHAMBERS -
If a boy, if a man, asks you if you’re all right and you say yes, he’ll always believe you and get on with what he wants to do. It’s just the way they’re made.
AIDAN CHAMBERS -
You have to know your own truth and stick to it. And never despair. Never give up. There’s always hope.
