I don't know why R. Cooper's writing works for me as much as it does. It shouldn't, honestly; it's very wordy, full of overthinking, and you have to read between the lines to fully enjoy her books. Usually, I don't have patience for that and my people-reading skills are abysmal. And yet. It had worked for me in the past and it worked for me in this story as well. It's so soft and full of tension. I want to reread certain parts of it right now.

I wish I could buy it in physical form.
