How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
We heard her almost straightaway. In the other car, wedged into ours so deep that you couldn't tell where one began and the other ended. She told us her name was Tate and then she squeezed through the glass and the steel and climbed over her own dead—just to be with Webb and me. (Prologue.4)
It's not exactly the greatest beginning of a beautiful friendship, but Tate crawling through the smashed up cars to get to Hannah and Webb is the hand they got dealt. And so the story of the five began.
Quote #2
They argued about sports codes and song lyrics. Jude saw the rain-dirty valley, Webb saw Brigadoon. Yet despite all this, they connected […] Somehow the world of Webb and Fitz and Tate and Narnie became the focus of Jude's life. (2.85)
While Jude's the only one of the five with no connection to the accident, he nonetheless is captivated by the bond the other four share and finds his way into their world.
Quote #3
All of a sudden Hannah has all these "friends." Friends who have known her since she was seventeen. Friends who hand over letters. Friends who are sick. (8.152)
Because Taylor's only ever known Hannah the Loner, it's surprising for her to learn that Hannah has deep connections with others. At this point, though, she has no idea just how deep those friendships run.
