This novella read as an extended epilogue to Under Your Scars, featuring Caroline 17 years after the final events of the first book. We see the repercussions of those final pages, how her life and inner voice have been impacted, and her journey to find closure.

⚠️Not a full review. Just a placeholder.⚠️

Delilah, the short continuation after Under Your Scars, hit like a whispered aftershock. I read it immediately after the main book (zero impulse control) and flew through it so fast I didn’t stop to actually think or feel.

There’s more I want to sit with. More I need to feel to make peace and wrap it all up fully. So for now, this is just a bookmark. I’ll come back and reread it properly... with less adrenaline and more brain cells.

Until then… just know I felt a lot.🖤

My opinion: I was really exited for this novella, but unfortunately it was just that… a novella with next to no storyline. I get that the first book was the author’s way of coping with her father’s suicide so this novella was likely also her way of acknowledging that she was enough … was I wanted more for Caroline. She deserved more than a shitty encounter with her uncle who thinks his dad didn’t do anything wrong and a quick letter from Christian. Yes, you just read the whole book. You’re welcome. Nothing else really happens, I mean technically yes things so happens but not really and it sucks because it could have been so awesome.
