How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"Did you know I invented the microwaveable burrito?" (4.81)
Later we hear that this is one of Uncle Alistair's many lies. We guess he chose burritos because toaster strudel was taken.
Quote #2
"It's this thing our family does [...] kind of like a scavenger hunt. We visit a bunch of places and have fun." (5.54)
This is the start of Amy and Dan's white lies that get them ahead in the competition. They fail to tell Nellie the whole story, that the "scavenger hunt" is actually a cutthroat, life-or-death competition.
Quote #3
Grace had always insisted she had no photographs of [their parents], though Dan never understood why. (6.87)
Even good old kind-hearted Grace has lied to Amy and Dan before. It's hard to believe she never had any photos of her own daughter. Even if she has her reasons, could they be good enough to keep photographs we're sure she has away from her grandkids?
