Quote #1
Adam Parrish had been Gansey's friend for eighteen months, and he knew that certain things came along with that friendship. Namely, believing in the supernatural, tolerating Gansey's troubled relationship with money, and co-existing with Gansey's other friends. (4.1)
Gansey is a peculiar dude. All of his friends would go to the ends of the earth for him (literally), but being his bro does come with some caveats: They've got to put up with all of his strange habits—including his hunt for a dead king.
Quote #2
Because of his money and good family name, because of his handsome smile and easy laugh, because he liked people (and despite his fears to the contrary) they liked him back, Gansey could've had any and all of the friends he wanted. Instead he had chosen the three of them, three guys who should've, for three different reasons, been friendless. (4.87)
Why would a rich, popular kid like Gansey choose three misfits as his best friends? Ronan's a loose canon, Adam's a scholarship kid from the poor side of town, and Noah… well, Noah's a ghost. They're not exactly the coolest kids in school.
Quote #3
It struck Gansey harder than he thought it would. Some days, all that grounded him was the knowledge that his and Adam's friendship existed in a place that money couldn't influence. Anything that spoke to the contrary hurt Gansey more than he would have admitted out loud. With precision, he'd asked, "Is that what you think of me?" (14.61)
Gansey likes to think that his friendships are above petty, worldly things like the amount of cash that they all have, but Adam knows that it's different—that money affects all relationships, whether you like it or not.
