Quotes from The 7 Lives of Lea

Please, tomorrow, don't come bawling about how you started World War III because you beat up some guy.

Léa: "You're supposed to hate me, not make fun of me."
Romane: "You hate yourself enough as it is."

For once, I feel alive. It's good to try. To fall, to get back up, to succeed.

Am I scared about it ending or looking forward to it? If this ends, I'll never see you again.

My name is Léa. I'm 17. I'll never get my high school diploma. And I hate vodka. It all began at this party. The sun burning your skin, the bass pounding in your heart. It was like an Instagram story, but it was real life. Pretending I was living my best life. But actually, I had never felt so alone. How did everyone else manage to be sure of themselves all the time? To not worry about anything? Were they all pretending, or was it just me? My friend Romane says we're all stardust and that the universe is ours. Yeah, right. I had stars stuck to my face while she was hitting on the DJ. I didn't understand that either. Love. I just wanted to find a way to feel alive.
