PREFACE
Before You Read . . .
Hi loves ♡
This book is being entered into Inkitt’s Summer of Love competition, which is both exciting and mildly terrifying for me, so thank you for even clicking on this story in the first place.
I also want to say something before you start:
My main character is not written to be perfect. PLEASE READ THAT SENTENCE AGAIN.
Millie is beautiful, emotionally messy, insecure, selfish sometimes, obsessive, lonely, dramatic, and deeply flawed in ways I think a lot more women secretly are than people want to admit out loud. Pretty privilege is a very real thing, but being desired and being truly loved are not the same thing. Being beautiful doesn’t automatically make someone emotionally fulfilled, confident, healed, or happy. Sometimes it just makes people expect you to perform happiness better.
Millie knows how to be wanted.
That does not mean she knows how to be loved correctly.
And honestly? That’s a huge part of this story.
So if she frustrates you sometimes, that’s okay. If you hate her? I DON’T CARE. You don’t have to agree with every decision she makes to understand why she makes them.
This is a contemporary romance with dark romance elements, emotional toxicity, explicit language, unhealthy relationships, complicated friendships, some open-door spice, some fade-to-black scenes, with jealousy, longing, and people making emotionally questionable choices while trying to figure themselves out, and semi thoughts of cheatign.
If that’s not your thing, this probably won’t be the book for you.
And that’s okay too.
Nobody is forcing you to stay here. So, rude and disrespectful comments wont be tolerated here and I have a mouth piece and will gladly cut you up if I see any. :)
But if you do continue reading …. even if you only make it past chapter one — thank you genuinely. Writing has become one of the few places where I get to unpack complicated emotions and pieces of myself I don’t always understand in my real life, and every book feels like I’m discovering something new while writing it.
Thank you for supporting my stories.
Thank you for supporting me.
And thank you for growing with me while I figure this whole writing thing out.
I love you for being here already.
