I wrote this book because I'm personally obsessed with decluttering and fascinated by the idea of self-help gurus. Unlike my first two books, this one resembles my own life in many ways. It's set in my hometown of La Jolla, California. And it's about a woman who is struggling to come to terms with the fact that she's gay and an alcoholic, which was very much my story. Writing about these subjects through the lens of a fictional character is something I've been meaning to do for a while, and now felt like the time to do it.(less)

Quotes by Swan Huntley  (?)

“It took me a long time to understand that what I had wanted was not a picture of something perfect. I already had that. What I had wanted was the feeling inside the pictures, the thing I had been trying to buy and drink and eat and not eat and fake my way to all my life. I wanted what everyone wanted. I wanted love.”
Swan Huntley, We Could Be Beautiful

“Before you drown, the spinning just feels like a dance.”
Swan Huntley, We Could Be Beautiful

“I remember the day I looked at William and truly thought he was the answer. That with him, my life could be beautiful. I had thought that beauty was in the flashy, pretty things you acquired to prove that you were happy. But a flash is just a flash. It blinds you and then it disappears.

Now I think real beauty might be in all the small and obvious places I had overlooked. Oh, a rock in Manhattan. Oh, an empty street in Manhattan. Oh, my sister and me watching a movie. Oh, the sky. Our lives could be beautiful in the quietest ways, and already were.”
Swan Huntley, We Could Be Beautiful
