“It's the opposite of the collapse of the fantasy.It's what happens when the illusion pales in comparison to the truth. I'm seeing her for the first time. Not Ava Garden Wilder, the rags-to-riches granddaughter of Clyde Jones. Not a tragic, romantic heroine. Just Ava.And I am utterly in love.”

“Nobody pitied him. Which was good, because he pretty much had the market on self-pity cornered.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“However, that Ethan would have had Grey naked and screaming his name at the first hint of an opportunity, so maybe he could learn a thing or two from his younger self.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“They spoke the secret language of old friends, that unconditional love and acceptance that could only come from years of shared history.” ― Ava Wilder, Will They or Won't They
“His favorite aunt, the one who'd been married five times (but to only three different husbands).” ― Ava Wilder, Will They or Won't They
“Hopefully there's life after life after death.” ― Ava Wilder, Will They or Won't They
“But I was always trying on different things when I was growing up, different personas, trying to figure out who I was supposed to be. I never really felt the urge to commit to anything permanently like that.” ― Ava Wilder, Will They or Won't They
“Good night,” I call to Charlotte, and ignore her when she calls back, “Seriously?” I rest my face on a pillow. Close my eyes. Because all I want is eight hours to dream about Ava Garden Wilder.” ― Nina LaCour, Everything Leads to You
“She'd already met more than her fair share of conventionally hot people with the charisma of a rock.” ― Ava Wilder, Will They or Won't They
“So, let me get this straight. I’m being punished for . . . what, exactly? Having my privacy invaded? Having sex with someone everyone thinks I’ve been dating for months?” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“There is no ‘two of us.’ This was supposed to help me, help my career, but so far I’ve just been harassed, stalked, humiliated, violated, and fired. You have to let me out for, what is it? Material damage to my reputation? I’d say my reputation has been pretty goddamn materially damaged, wouldn’t you?” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“She kind of just feels like some lady I used to live with. Maybe that’s horrible to say. But it doesn’t seem like she’s that interested in being closer, either. Everybody’s happy with the way things are.” Her voice cracked a little.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“I didn’t know. You don’t tell me anything. Everything I know about you two I have to read in the tabloids. How do you think that makes me feel? Do you think I liked having my dentist be the one to tell me that my daughter’s bare behind was all over the news, and then some?” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“I don’t get it, honestly. How will parading around with some young blonde make people root for me? Isn’t that the kind of thing everyone hates? Shouldn’t I be ‘dating’ someone my own age?” He made lazy finger quotation marks around the word “dating.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“Acknowledge that they were both at strange junctures in their respective careers and laugh about it, agreeing to move forward together in this charade based on a foundation of mutual respect (and also maybe they kissed sometimes). Well, that was out the window.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“Don’t you get cute with me. The last thing he needs is some gold-digging fame whore latching on to him and sucking him dry. You better watch yourself.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“Now, six seasons and 132 episodes of Poison Paradise later, she took it in stride. It was better than not being recognized at all. “Thank you, that’s so sweet! Do you want a selfie?” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“She and Kamilah were the only people in Grey’s life who didn’t make her feel like she had to second-guess every word before she spoke.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
“So you’re pimping me out now. Awesome. I guess my career is even more dead than I thought.” ― Ava Wilder, How to Fake it in Hollywood
