This series just keeps getting better. I might not have enough stars for number 3 I fear.  

The character arcs in this are just *chefs kiss* and don't even get me started on the spice.....the RESTAURANT scene?! I thought I was going to have to hide myself away with it for hours 😂

While it's a slow burn, it's done SO well and when we finally get there it is beautiful.

Onto number 3!

Everyone was alive and breathing. Everyone but me. I was just pretending.

“It’s the Morgan way. Why shine the light on things when you can pretend they don’t exist?”

Whenever you’re close, everything is better. The closer you are, the easier I breathe, the less I feel like life is just a never-ending pour of lemon juice into an open wound that won’t heal.

“You’re not responsible for how you were brought up, but you are responsible for your actions and reactions once you’re an adult.”

“Tell me what you need to feel safe with this. With us.”
