“with his words, i swear i feel my heart slowly piece itself back together. it wasn’t perfectly healed, and maybe it never would be, but it would be safe in his hands. that i knew for certain.“

mason and violet were so cute! i’m not usually a fan of friends to lovers, but i adored their story to pieces. i see so much of myself in violet’s tendencies, like over-planning and wanting control over things, and i see myself in mason as well with self-doubt and overthinking things.

penny (the cat) was one of my favourite characters, especially because she gave mason a run for his money, but hey, if it wasn’t for penny, where would mason and violet be? they owe her everything. 

mason was so thoughtful and caring when it came to violet— even 3 years later, he still remembered her drink order and had the tea she loved stocked for her return to him. (literally the definition of “if he wanted to, he would”!)

this was such a sweet story, and it just released yesterday (jan 10), so go read it!
