Last year Sarah Mlynowski published one of the best beach reads of the decade – Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn’t Have). This year, that very title is out in paperback, and winning over a whole new group of fans seeking a guilty-pleasure-feel-good-novel. Want to know why? We’re sharing a handful of quotes that have stuck with us since our first read-through.

1. “They write songs about California girls for a reason.”

2. “No one was perfect. But we all did the best we could.”

3. “Dad? Um, listen. I have kind of a crazy story for you….”

4. “Sometimes you don’t need lightning to start a fire. Sometimes, it builds on its own.”

5. “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck Chlamydia?”
