Violet’s breath catches. She’s never really thought of her heart before. The heart’s a muscle that works to keep her alive. Works to keep this other girl alive, too. Two muscles squeezing over and over to keep them upright, all for the purpose of this moment, right now.
They’re standing far away, but Violet can feel Liv’s hand on her own heart.
twelfth night modern retelling but olivia/viola endgame god this is everything i've ever wanted
that said. i do think this dragged a little in the middle and it ended up sitting on the backburner for a solid month (sorry 😭). short fun chapters to make you through it. i also think it would've benefitted from a little more closure but it was a good book overall, rec if you like messy protagonists in ya lol
