Yes, on the dedication page she writes: You will find that most things in life are more complicated than they appear, yet I wish you many simple, beautiful moments. May you always remember your hearts.
It was strange how memories worked. The harder you chased them away, the more tightly they grasped you, and always at the wrong time.

Yes, I highlight in light pencil in my book and at times make a note in the margin. Most of my books I pass on to my daughter and she so loves reading the notes I make.
"...She no longer had to battle against the pervasive feeling of loneliness. She only had to surrender to the good, whatever that was at whatever time. The other stuff, all the hurt, the offenses-those were just stones bouncing off stone. They didn't matter much." p. 376

Yes - several -
When one starts a new chapter, the page shouldn't be noisy with commentary, but white and crisp, ready for one's best self.

A grand vision, but it's so hard to drop the baggage.
"You would think the joy of teaching would be sufficient to inspire them< Farnoosh said.
Farzad smiled, "I'm not sure you would think the same if your husband was taking home their salary."

Underappreciation of teachers is universal.
