Book Notes: The Beach House

From The Beach House by Jane Green

- That nothing in this world happens without a reason. That we are all exactly where we are supposed to be, and that the pieces of the puzzle have a tendency to come together when you least expect it.

- Isn't it ironic, she thinks, just when you think your life is smooth and everything is exactly as you want it, a wrench is thrown in the works and everything changes again.

- This feels utterly new and utterly familiar at the same time. It feels right... like coming home.

- Everything does, indeed, happen for a reason. Sometimes it's just hard to figure out what the reason is.

- For heaven's sake, find out what the matter is. You know as well as I do, my dear, that the key to a good relationship is knowing how to communicate. Everybody argues, everyone has misunderstandings, but you have to know how to get through them, not to let resentment build up until you can't find your way back to one another.
