📚Read Method: Physical book, Kindle eBook, Audible

📕Review: Beginning of book notes... "everything hurts". Every time I read this, I just hurt, even though I know the ending. HD Carlton has a way of writing heartbreak that I will never understand. She throws in these little nibbles of happiness/humor when all things are going to shit. Like chapter 13
Mama T and Z sitting eating chocolate chip cookies when he meets the Basilisk Brothers. It's a small win when this book can make me smile when it's so sad.

Beware of Chapter
18. It will literally break you. and Chapter 22 will tape you back together.
