Would he text backyes. something short

who he is

here’s the thing about malachi that leigh rivers does so well. he is not pretending this is okay. she is not pretending this is okay. the book is not pretending this is okay. and somehow that complete self awareness about how messy and forbidden and wrong this all is makes it completely impossible to put down. you spend the entire book saying this is a terrible idea and turning the page anyway.

he’s the stepbrother. the one who barely talks. the one she sent to jail.

the one who won’t let her go.
