Where do I begin?!
Cassandra Walker is a MF bad ass!! She's brilliant, calculating, strong, and knows her worth! Theo Fairview is a lovable bad ass! You can't help but fall for Theo and want to rip apart the ugly in the world to save her. Cass & Theo together? Absolute cinema! "Baby, I’d hold your hand through a nuclear explosion."
A lot of content warnings with this one. Alexandra has a talent for approaching with care. Elements reminded me of Internal Family Systems (IFS) (Cass living with her Monster part, Cass understanding Sue the Monster was there to protect her).
Honorable mentions:
Nolan having a genuine redemption arc you wish every one had!
Q-tips. Stahhppp 🥹
“I know you don’t need a knight in shining armor, Cassandra, But I’m hoping you’ll let me be your home.”
My first Sapphic Romance. You've set the bar high!!
