“It’s normal to have a midlife crisis, but you don’t marry the fucking crisis” - Xavier McCade

𝐌𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 ↴
This prequel is set 3 years BEFORE Cruel Intentions and it starts off with Xavier’s father being a cheating bastard (doesn’t actually describe him cheating but he cheated) and leaving his wife for his mistress. Now I didn’t know how to react to it because some of the words coming out of Victoria’s mouth (the wife) had me saying “see this is why he’s leaving you”... Who threatens their child with killing them if they decide to move in with their father and the girlfriend? Victoria, that’s who. At this point I don’t like either of his parents, when/if you read this one you’ll understand why I can’t stand either of them.

Though this was a very quick read–about 35 pages–it sure had my mouth gaping open every time Xavier opened his mouth. The shit that came out of that man’s mouth is crazy and to a 15 year old? INSANE. But hey, I never said I didn’t like insane so let’s see where this series takes us, shall we?
