I’m nothing if not a tangled, colorful ball of contradictions.
GLENNON DOYLE -
Book tours are super hard for me as a raging introvert. I love humanity, but actual humans are hard for me. So something like a book tour – where I’m constantly on the road – scares the hell out of me.
GLENNON DOYLE -
I’ve never believed in or understood romantic love. Love at first sight was always a complete joke to me.
