Quote #1
It was much easier than Kizzy would have thought, walking across town with a beautiful boy, talking about things like the fat content of elk mat and the aerodynamic quality of pizza, and about the jocks of St. Pock's, and superstition, and marshmallows, and death. (1.2.133)
Maybe this isn't love yet, but it's a form of flirtation and infatuation that's all new to Kizzy. She can't believe that it's this easy to spend time with a boy she likes. Is it too good to be true?
Quote #2
This time it was real; it was really going to happen. Kizzy was going to kiss a beautiful boy. Why then was she thinking about the peach, of how his lips would taste of it? (1.3.69)
You've got to hand it to the goblins: They know exactly how to reel in a lovesick teenager who's filled with romantic notions. Kizzy is a goner once Jack shows up with his cool clothes and good looks.
Quote #3
That was ridiculous, of course. Certainly a man couldn't fall in love with cursive on a page, could he? He scanned the inside covers of the little book for some hint of the girl's identity but found no name. (2.4.5)
