Holy shit. This book hurts.

I hope there is a way to reverse being star crossed because wtf

I don’t understand Tory’s anger. I get that she is angry but to that degree it just feels unreasonable. I hope the next book gets happier, damn.

All I want to say is that if I saw Tory on the street or anywhere. I would try to kidnap her. Take her to the Grand Canyon just so I could throw her off a cliff. Then bash what was left of her stupid body.
