“Alexa looked down into her coffee again, gazing into the dark brown liquid like it was Dumbledore’s Pensieve” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
“I’ve spent so long being afraid of love, because the last time I was in love, the man I loved only loved one part of me, but not all of me, and I thought love meant having to sacrifice a part of yourself. But then I was with you, and you loved every part of me, even the parts I don’t like. And that scared me more, because I thought there must be some trick and that I couldn’t let myself believe it or I’d fall into the trap. But finally I realized it wasn’t a trap.” ― Jasmine Guillory , The Proposal
“I think I mostly realized I couldn't live in fear anymore.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal
“White men hated it when you reminded them of their privilege, she knew that all too well.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
“He believed her. Just like that. So often, guys would jump in to defend other men when women said they’d crossed a line. It had happened to her over and over again.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
“Alexa looked down into her coffee again, gazing into the dark brown liquid like it was Dumbledore’s Pensieve.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
“I’ve never seen you look at anyone or anything like you look at her. And you’re just going to throw all of that away for some bullshit reason? Because you’re too scared for something real?” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
“I get trying to make a big romantic gesture and all, and wanting a surprise, but . . .” “Deciding to spend your life together shouldn’t be a surprise,” Angela said. “It should be something the two of you talk about first!” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal: Reese's Book Club
“Women who know how to fight hold themselves differently. I’ve seen that in the women who’ve taught me, in the women who’ve taken my classes, and especially in myself. You walk into any situation with an attitude that you’ve got this, you can defend yourself, you are strong.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal: Reese's Book Club
“I missed you so much, too. I kept trying to deny to myself how much I missed you, and how much a part of my life you'd become, and how important you were to me. And then when I realized it, it terrified me...."And then I was scared that you wouldn't still feel the same way. That I'd been right the first time, that it was all because of emotion and adrenaline and you'd realized you were better off with me.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal
“Does cookie dough ice cream go better with red or white wine?” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
“Thank God for that sour cream,” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal: Reese's Book Club

“Don't bring a sandwich to a buffet.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
“Her first instinct was to get in her car, get on the freeway going east, and just keep driving. Yes, that was a good idea. She should drive until she hit the desert and then stay there. That way, she would never have to deal with this and maybe eventually it would go away.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal
“They’d learned how to deal with two busy careers and a relationship, too; what the other person was like on an early Monday morning and a stressful Thursday night instead of just their idyllic weekends; that she never made the bed; that Drew always left the lights on.” ― Jasmine Guillory, The Wedding Date
