“‘There’s no happy ending for this—‘

I don’t care.”

Oh. My. God.

Fury is… so much fun.

Few things make me as giddy as a good female lead.

Of all the heroines I’ve encountered, my favorites tend to fall under one or more of the following categories:

• The ones I (sometimes begrudgingly) respect
• The ones I relate to or aspire to
• The ones I would fight to the death for bc they’re just too damn precious for the world

(We don’t talk about the ones I’d sin for in polite company)

It goes without saying that I’d want to be best friends with all of them. 

Realistically, though? I doubt many would want to be best friends with me. 

But Fury?

Girl, we would click in an instant. Synergetic. Inseparable. A menace to society.

Honestly, we’d probably take over the world. As a joke (mostly)

She’s a 5-star bitch, y’all. And if the ending were a touch less messy and the H’s a lot less pushy, this would be a 4-star book.

I’m holding out hope that we’ll get there.
