"Someday you'll want to be a prisoner to someone other than yourself."
"Still, the longer I was around her, the more I could see the colors of her mind and the recesses of her heart. There was a beast in there. But there was also a girl who was afraid of being a beast, and who wondered if other people had beasts in their hearts too. There was strength, and there was also determination to look strong. She guarded herself like a secret."
"She was fierce, to be sure, but she had a girl's heart, after all."
"She was like a bandage on his heart, and she tried to be the best bandage she could be, though what she was trying to help him heal from, she wasn't sure of."
"Sometimes I think that maybe we are just stories. Like we may as well just be words on a page, because we're only what we've done and what we are going to do."

This book was a different version of the Peter Pan story, and I think it's underrated. I definitely recommend it, it's an easy-read and it's very interesting, once you start, you won't put it down until you finish it.
Lots of melodies,
