When Hearts Surrender by Victoria Lum

dark emotional hopeful tense fast-paced

5.0

I think this might be my favorite in The Orchid series so far. Maxwell and Belle's story is absolutely fascinating and beautiful. You can't help but feel for them both. As someone who also faces social anxiety I feel Maxwell and his fear of being social interactions. 

So much to love in this book. Victoria did such a beautiful job with these two characters and also including a curse for some magical realism. It was so fascinating to read.
