Mistakes Were Made (Story Lake, #2)

“I’m a lot. I know that.”

Maggie hides her feelings behind jokes and a tough exterior. It shows how hard it is to let someone see the real you when you are scared of being too much.

“I’m not going anywhere, Mags.”

Luke is so patient with Maggie even when she tries to push him away. Some people will actually stay if you give them the chance to prove it.

The way they deal with their past mistakes feels so heavy. You realize that forgiving yourself is usually much harder than forgiving someone else.

Small town gossip can feel like a cage. Everyone remembers who you used to be instead of who you are trying to become.
