Quote 4
"There might have been a time when one or the other of us considered it, but [Isabelle's] almost a sister to me. It would be strange." (17.69)

"[Isabelle] always wanted to be small and delicate, you know. She hates being taller than most boys." (17.75)
Even pretty girls have body issues. Like man shoulders and sucky nail beds.
