"Every single one of us is in that race, and a race against time is one you’ll never win. But how will you run?"

Kennedy's pen is nothing to play with! This story is so beautifully written and so unique. I took a break reading it only because I am not a fan of such crazy power dynamics, but these were grown people who handled this situation beautifully. Neevah was truly such a light and magnetic character. Watching Canon allow himself to fall in love with her felt right. I think this was some of the best communication I've ever witnessed. When things took a turn for Neevah, I loved how she vocalized her insecurities and fears. I loved even more how Canon reassured that their relationship could handle it if she let it. Kennedy always does a great job of writing such dynamic and whole characters, that , even when they aren't my faves, I can't help but love their story anyway.
