"A red traffic light loomed, and Cecilia slammed her foot on the brake. The fact that Polly no longer wanted a pirate party was breathtakingly insignificant in comparison to that poor man (thirty!) crashing to the ground for the freedom that Cecilia took for granted, but right now, she couldnâ€™t pause to honor his memory, because a last-minute change of party theme was unacceptable. Thatâ€™s what happened when you had freedom. You lost your mind over a pirate party."

-- Liane Moriarty
