Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Katee Robert wrote a revenge fantasy so unapologetically filthy it became a BookTok phenomenon. Shane is possessive in all the right ways and Lily matches his energy beat for beat. Pure id on a page.
