Harker Jones liked An Avid Reader's review of Never Have I Ever: "Science has long studied why humans seek out fear. Adrenaline surges, our hearts race, and yet, we willingly watch horror films, tell ghost stories, and pick up books like Never Have I Ever.

Or maybe he was different. He didn’t know. He did know, regardless, that it was the price of having Jack. And while he was happy to pay it, it made him sad there was a price at all. We can't have our cake and eat it too. One of the problems with true intimacy is that it is exclusive.

Harker’s Quotes

“The Laughing Heart

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.”
― Charles Bukowski, Betting on the Muse: Poems & Stories
