    Summary

    Nothing in Mira's life had ever been blameless. It was always someone’s fault. Her brother’s, for being a coward, for putting Mira in the firing line to save his own skin. Her father’s, for thinking violence would make her the person he wanted her to be. Her mother’s, for telling her she wasn’t good enough, that she deserved it, for not protecting her.

    Hers, for being too aggressive, too feckless, too difficult to love.

    Celine’s, for every lie she’d told Rumi.

    Being angry and protective is all well and good, but it's not always what people need.
