Girl's Best Friend
“If she’d found her money fifteen years ago, or if John hadn’t taken it from her in the first place, she never would’ve had to divide her brownstone into four apartments.
That meant my family wouldn’t live here. We’d be in some other building—probably far from Garfield Place—and my life would be completely different. I’d never have known Isabel, or Preston, either. And with no dog to walk, Parminder never would’ve mistaken me for a dog walker.
Which meant I never would have become a dog walker. ...I’d just be plain old Maggie Brooklyn—a twin with a not-so-secret crush, three great friends, and one frenemy.
Or maybe not even that. My parents might have moved to an entirely different neighborhood. Then I’d never have even known Ivy or any of my real friends.
It was crazy to think about how much of what really mattered—all the important stuff—kind of happened at random.
My life as a giant Connect the Dots, a picture in perpetual motion.
But Isabel had rented my family an apartment and here I was, wasting time marveling over what could’ve been and not coming any closer to finding Kermit.MoreLess
