How we cite our quotes: (Poem Title, Stanza)
Quote #1
Bree? Who was she? And where did that name come from? I'd probably heard it once in my life!
Pretty name, Bree. Okay, good call. Confidence flooded our brain like hormones. (Bree? Who Was She?.1-2)
Since her relationship with the monster pretty much transforms Kristina into a new person, it's fitting that the first big lie she tells is calling herself Bree. The scary thing is that she doesn't even know where her urge to rename herself comes from. Perhaps meeting Adam is what sparks her desire to rebel against her parents and become someone different.
Quote #2
The monster stomped up and down my spine. Kristina? Buddy? You here? Adam looked at me and whispered, "Who's Kristina?" (I Didn't Want to Stop Either.4-5)
Oh, busted—and at the worst time possible, too. Nothing like having your identity lie come out just as you're about to make whoopee in the back room of the bowling alley.
Quote #3
The monster loves to talk. He jumps into your head and opens your mouth, making it spout your deepest, darkest deceptions. Making you say all the things you'd rather not say, at least in mixed company. (The monster Loves to Talk.1)
You know how most people pretty much go through life with a filter that lets us keep our negative and inappropriate comments to ourselves for the purpose of being socially acceptable? Forget about keeping up appearances and deceiving others when you're with the monster—all your deep, dark secrets just might be on display for everyone to see.
