"Curious to see how this will go, since I felt everything was pretty wrapped up already.
Also seems like Preston will have a larger role (judging from the cover as well). Personally, what I really loved about the first one was its focus on Effy's experiences navigating sexism + the gothic aspects of it. And the romance to me always felt secondary to all that. So hoping Preston doesnt overshadow Effy too much." — Sep 13, 2025 06:18AM

“I watched a girl in a sundress kiss another girl on a park bench, and just as the sunlight spilled perfectly onto both of their hair, I thought to myself: ‘How bravely beautiful it is, that sometimes, the sea wants the city, even when it has been told its entire life it was meant for the shore.”

“I was head over heels in love with her. No, that didn’t describe it. I was tear my fucking heart out and throw it at her, beg her to take it into hers. I was falling from the greatest heights with no safety net below. I was giving everything of my own life for hers, giving up every inch of my soul so she could wear it proudly. I was a former king on my knees in front of the queen. A jester begging for a chance. I was powerless, helpless and at her mercy.”
