It's not really meant to have a concrete setting, I wanted the story to feel like it could take place anywhere in the global north.

“You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even but a millimeter the way people look at reality, then you can change it.”
James Baldwin

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“They're your parents. They're meant to love you because. Never in spite.”
Patrick Ness, Release

“When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak

“They say terrible things are done in darkness, but terrible things are also done in a light too blinding for anyone else to look at directly.”
