Quote #1

Mornings at 300 Fox Way were fearful, jumbled things. Elbows in sides and lines for the bathroom and people snapping over tea bags placed into cups that already had tea bags in them. There was school for Blue and work for some of the more productive (or less intuitive) aunts. Toast got burned, cereal went soggy, the refrigerator door hung open and expectant for minutes at a time. Keys jingled as car pools were hastily decided. (3.1)

Ah, home sweet home. Blue may not live in a fancy apartment like Gansey and his friends, but she still has a place that she loves to call home. It just happens to be chaotic and filled with female psychics (who have big personalities).

Quote #2

"There she is," Helen's voice reported directly into Gansey's ears; in the helicopter, they all wore headsets to allow them to converse through the ceaseless noise of the blades and the engine. "Gansey's girlfriend." (22.5)

Gansey's blue-blood family comes from Washington D.C. (after all, they're involved in politics), but he has a serious love affair with the town of Henrietta, Virginia. It's where his heart truly lies.

Quote #3

Ordinarily, home—a sprawling, Cotswold-stone mansion outside of Washington, D.C.—had a sort of nostalgic comfort to it, but today, Gansey had no patience for it. All he could think about was Noah's skeleton and Ronan's terrible grades and the trees speaking Latin. (31.34)

Even though he grew up in his family's mansion like a little prince, Gansey no longer feels entirely comfortable there. He has a whole life—and things to take care of—back home in Henrietta.
