I'm not sure when it'll be coming out (I have a few more WIPs than normal), but it's coming! :)(less)

I adored this so much, that I immediately started the audiobook for the second book--even though I had just read the physical copy a week before. I wanted to stay in this world that much longer. 💛💛

Quotes by Tess Carletta  (?)

“But who do I have if you're not my person?”
Tess Carletta, Kit & Basie

“He wanted memories that were so good, he could only replace them with even better memories, until his mind was just a stockpile of evidence that proved a simple fact: no place in the world could be better than where he was.”
Tess Carletta, Kit & Basie

“Something in Basie shifted. He took the key to his grief and unlocked the shackles. He was done with it. Done being pulled in a thousand different directions until his bones ached. Done wading through each day in a lukewarm haze. Done stopping in his tracks at the first sign of something good. Done holding himself back from actually going somewhere. Absolutely fucking done.”
Tess Carletta, Kit & Basie
