E's a mess. Literally. As a Tajaerean she's supposed to be powerful. Elitist. Distant. Instead, her best friends are Kastorian soldiers. D: Adopting a family of idiots, E embarks on a speed-dating adventure (yes, really) while throwing caution to the wind. Unfortunately, she doesn't realize that being loved by people isn't the same thing as being understood by them. This story relies heavily on humor, relationships, poor decisions, and cruel emotional damage. It's for readers who like to laugh, cry, and deep dive into a deeply flawed protagonist. This is a humor-dressed tragedy about a girl who accidentally found a family and the consequences of loving them too much. It's also a dumpster fire. So read if you like eating trash. Like me.
