“I like seeing my daughter in the news for dating a woman,” her mom continued. “There are much worse reasons to be famous.”

Something to Talk About
“They kissed slowly. Gently. Like they couldn't believe they were allowed to.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“She hadn’t had to apologize out loud then, because her apology was changed behavior, never letting anything like that happen again. Jo needed to do the same. Emma has forgiven too many people in her life too easily. She was finally learning to stand up for herself.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“Space might as well be endless. It made her feel inconsequential, in a good way. Like all the ways she fucked up down here didn't matter. The stars wouldn't mind.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Mistakes Were Made
“The idea that you’re going through some midlife crisis and that’s why you want to do Agent Silver! When you know it’s just sexism and racism—God forbid a woman write an established male character. What if she gives him feelings that aren’t punching and having sex?” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“It was nerves but not nervousness, anticipation but not apprehension. Everything between them was a big ball of potential, and Emma couldn’t wait to see how it turned out.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“They say hindsight is twenty-twenty, and looking back, it seemed like it was always going to lead to this: Jo’s fingers on Emma’s skin an inevitability. Not like fate—not like they didn’t have a choice, but like in a thousand different universes they would always make the choices that led them here.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“Cassie was a bad decision Erin wanted to make again and again.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Mistakes Were Made
“She'd opened up. Look where that had gotten her.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Mistakes Were Made
“There was no better feeling than making a pretty girl blush.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Mistakes Were Made
“Lesbian is important to me," Phoebe says. "The world likes to act like it's a porn category, not an identity. It took me a while to realize it wasn't. I want other girls like me to know it's a beautiful word.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Cleat Cute
“When you raise a kid, it’s so easy to fuck up,” Erin said. “You don’t mean to, but you do. I can’t always control whether or not I do right by her. But in this I can. She feels bad, and I can make it a little better. She deserves so much more, but this I can do.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Mistakes Were Made
“All the things I want you to do? Figure out what you want in life. Find your own path. Make mistakes but actually learn from them. Leave behind what doesn’t bring you joy, what you’ve outgrown. I wasn’t doing any of it when I was married to your dad.” She was still circling the couch. “I thought I was staying in the marriage for you—so you didn’t have to go through your parents divorcing. But, in the end, I left it for you. Because how could I raise you to do all those things when I wasn’t doing them myself?” ― Meryl Wilsner, Mistakes Were Made
“Jo called her preferred coffee shop the next morning, the one where Emma picked up her latte every day. She added an iced chai to her standing order. It was something she did sometimes, after late-night shoots or before a long day. A little pick-me-up for Emma.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“I am definitely teasing you about it, and that’s only fun if it annoys you, not if it depresses you.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“Space might as well be endless. It made her feel inconsequential, in a good way. Like all the ways she fucked up down here didn’t matter. The stars wouldn’t mind.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Mistakes Were Made
“Oh my God, I don’t care, just touch me.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“She drooled when she slept sometimes, and if she’d drooled on Jo, she might have to kill herself.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
“I’m a hungover midlife crisis of a person in love with my assistant. Give me a break.” ― Meryl Wilsner, Something to Talk About
