This was a lovely short story! It was so empowering. The only thing I have to say bad about it was it seemed a little rushed. It could have been longer. But I did enjoy the ending and how it connects the next book in the series. I can't wait to read it in a couple of days. As always, here are some of my favorite quotes.
"My friend and former co-worker, Ciara, won’t let me turn into a hermit. I know her heart is in the right place, but I really just wish she would leave me alone. I hate myself for being jealous of Ciara, but the fire that left me a scarred monster brought her handsome and loving fireman fiancé into her life. I’m not sure what kind of horrid karma caused that stinking, steaming dump on my doorstep, but it sure doesn’t seem fair. Ciara’s a great person. She deserves to be happy. But I do, too, right?"
"“You may think you want to be left alone, but I’ve spent a large portion of my life being alone and very lonely. It’s a nightmare that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy.”"
"“Our scars show that we have lived through something difficult and come out on the other side of it. We are flawed, but we are better, stronger people for it.”"
