Caroline Wexler Don't we all wanna be somebody different sometimes? Someone smarter and sexier and bolder than we really are?
Caroline Wexler My mom once told me that if you ever want to make a man happy... flatter his vanity. Tell him he's handsome. She said not to bother calling him interesting or clever, because that's what their bosses and colleagues are for. But every man carries a secret dream of being handsome, and desperately yearns to be recognized as such.
Caroline Wexler I knew then that our love was not some idealized state, but a union of secrets and flaws, and it broke my heart to think such things.
