I love Rebecca Yarros, that’s it.

I started the year with her (In the Likely Event), and I’m ending it with her (Variation). She’s my most read author of 2024 and I have ZERO regrets.

This story was SO painful and heartbreaking and just what I needed, it was exactly what I thought it would be: a masterpiece.

It’s so well written, I learned a fucking lot about ballet and rescue swimmers in the past 48 hours thanks to Rebecca 😂 too much info that I don’t know what to do with, stored right into my brain for future reference 🤭

The chemistry between our lovebirds it’s so good, and honestly? I know my girl Allie is soooo much stronger than I am cause if I had my legs wrapped around Hudson with his face THAT close in the freaking ocean I wouldn’t had the willpower to simply walk away 🙃

Gotta say there were a few (a lot) twists that I did not saw coming, even if I tried my best I wouldn’t even think about the actual spot Rebecca would put us on. She’s that good 😮‍💨

100% recommend, you won’t regret it, and if you do please don’t come for my throat thanks x
