When Cassie's life is flipped on its head, she needs to start from scratch. Both her relationship with her estranged mother and her job as a fire fighter. She's constantly underestimated and struggles to let down the defences she's built to keep herself safe. I loved that despite the gorgeousness of the MMC, the Rookie doesn't end up saving her. Cassie saves herself.
Moderate: Misogyny, Rape, and Terminal illness
