"I'm not sure what our days will look like but I know they'll be better than anything I'd ever imagined for myself.
There is no dream, no goal, no hope.
It's just her.
Her dreams are mine. Her goals are mine. She is my hope.

I love that Lyra stood up more for herself in this book because the obsession made me feel so pathetic 😭 but it's so valid (bc hello Thatcher?!) + made sense for them & their story. ALSO
She's my favorite
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Thatcher
This man is a poet and I'm so so glad he
I do love this man and he needs all the love. His vulnerability showed more here and I adored it so much. This is exactly what I wanted from him.
He really is THAT MAN! He'll always come through with his promises. 🙂↕️
·˚ ༘₊·꒰➳: ̗̀➛ Overall thoughts
Sometimes I found my mind wandering however I did enjoy the book for the most part. There are a lot of inner monologues which I mostly love because Monty captured and wrote it so beautifully. I was in awe every time it was Thatcher's POV and Monty digging into his mind, actually both of their minds.
However, they really grew on me and I love their story now 💞 their connection and history together is so complex and complicated but it's so beautiful and so them. I'm just in adoration of how Monty connected everything, especially for them.
And figuring out The Imitator was predictable but made sense. Also,
This probably isn't a big issue for others but! The ick was given in some of the dialogues during the sex scenes (for me!). I just thought it was cringy and it started to get repetitive. Also, I couldn't really imagine, a character like Thatcher would say some of those things but we move.
TW! Blood kink. It was mentioned in this book a couple of times and yes, there is a TW but every time I read it, I still cringe and.. yuck 🤮💀 but I digress.
Anyways they're both fucked up and sick but I love them sickos 😌
