He wanted to get his heart racing again, so much that he'd have to stop at 7-Eleven parking lots in the middle of the night and hold his fingers to his neck to calm down.
He wanted to be involved with the planning, the execution and the sometimes violent aftermath. He wanted his fictitious version of me all to himself — and I could not let him have it because when he'd look closely at the stitching of Margo, he'd realise the real Margo is not the girl he imagined. He saw me in one of those funhouse mirrors, distorted to the truth.

I had imagined Q to be so much more of a badass, like me. I had misimagined my idea of Q. I had been so caught up in my own fantasy of him that I did too see more of a mirror than a window to Q.
I tried to make him more like me, leaving the Whitman, leading him to the Strip Mall, thinking he'd figure it out, and at one point I wanted him to find me, I wanted Q to be the hero I had always thought he would be. The Quentin who jumped in front of the bullet in my story to save me — how ever much I told myself I didn't want Quentin to save me I always knew it was a big fat lie.
I wanted my hero, my fairytale like every other paper girl. But Q is no hero.
The Cut Out Girl by Bart van Es | tandjfoods.com: Books
I am no princess in need of saving from peril. My only danger was letting myself become so frailly paper thin that I could never really be repaired. I was already so papery that all my strings had broken and only Cello tape held me together, becoming literally, more Cello tape than paper, more plastic than person. It is a story rich with contradictions. And there are more mundane sacrifices a family under brutal occupation must make to provide for even the family they already have.

Her time in hiding was made much more terrifying by the energetic efforts of the local Dutch authorities, zealous accomplices in the mission of sending every Jew, man, woman and child, East to their extermination. And Lientje was not always particularly well treated, and sometimes, Bart learned, she was very badly treated indeed. A triumph of subtlety, decency and unflinching observation, The Cut Out Girl is a triumphant marriage of many keys of writing, ultimately blending them into an extraordinary new harmony, and a deeper truth.
