Story
Notes
I know to a distressing degree that most of the details pertaining to law, medicine, social work, and police procedure in this story are not accurate. I did some research with assistance, but the majority of the time I sacrificed accuracy in favor of the story I wanted the characters to have. I’m only mentioning it because readers from those occupations might not want to read the story if inaccuracy upsets them.
this summary alone has me biting my nails, omg
Is it bad that I keep checking his page multiple times a day hoping for this one to be posted… lol I’m sure that my visits to this page alone over the past 48hours have topped 20….
Ok, it took me two days to read this becaus I had to go ask someone for spoilers before finishing – you are so good at building tension! I was absolutely on the edge of my seat for most of this story, but I’m so happy about the ending. Evan getting a new chance, Eddie already on track to have a better understanding of his own emotions, Maddie getting out from under her parents’ brainwashing years early. And Evan getting so much support from Athena and Michael, and the Diazes. <3 I never thought I could hate his parents more than I already did, but wow, you made them so believably evil from that position of privilege and power. Such powerful writing.
