Quote #4

Like maybe she was right, that without her I really would be nothing. A part of me know this wasn't true, but there was this small sliver of doubt, nagging like a splinter. (6.40)

Annabel remains friends with Sophie (even though she can often be mean and nasty) because she's afraid that she won't be anything without Sophie—she's not sure if she has enough of a personality or individual self to stand on.

Quote #5

"My point is, I don't know you as someone who gets their picture taken in a cheerleading outfit. Or even as a model, period. That's not you to me." (11.115)

Owen's come to know Annabel as her true self instead of someone who models or is friends with Sophie. Unlike the rest of the world, he tries to get to know her on a deeply personal level.

Quote #6

My hair was unbrushed, a few strands loose around my face, I had on no makeup, and it wasn't my best angle. It also wasn't a bad picture. I moved in closer, studying my face, the faint light behind it. (11.160)

Even though it may not be a professional shot where she has her hair and makeup done, Annabel recognizes herself in the picture that Owen takes. It's a truer representation of herself—and that's not a bad thing.
