WELL WELL WELL. My friend recommended this to me and I picked it up at the library, not thinking too much of it, but I was left shaking 🗣️

‘What was the worth of happiness that left behind a crater thrice the size of its impact’ hit me like a ton of bricks 🥹

The heaviness of desire weighed so hard on me throughout this book. I had to take breaks throughout to gasp, because the way Isabel and Eva wanted each other was so intense 😳
When Part 2 ended and it all clicked, I went ‘AH. AH NO!’ But when Isabel and Eva get back together in Part 3, I went ‘AH. AH YES!’ 🤣 It came together like puzzle pieces 🤝🏼

A story I will be thinking about for a very very long time. 4.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
