I don’t know what it is but. This 2 part series tore my heart out and stomped on it until there was nothing left. It took me nearly a week to finish the last book because I couldn’t help myself from sobbing every few pages.
Lanston deserved better. And I’m so happy he got what he deserved. The pain, trauma, and self hatred was all too relatable. But it’s good to know that there is always someone out there meant for you, no matter your baggage.
