Another first read for me. Everly Claire creates an environment that is remarkably similar to our current society, but with a clear distinction between the wealthy and the unfortunate citizens who have been forced into servitude. Louisa and the Boy represent these two separate parts of their society. The evolution of the two main characters intensifies as they come closer to understanding each other, the accepted injustices they face, and the heinous acts that lie beneath the richest parts of society.
⛓️ The relationship between Lou and the Boy continues in a forced proximity situation as he functions as her tutor. For him, it’s an opportunity to take advantage of Lou and her family. The Boy considers himself a master manipulator, using his intelligence to help him locate his missing sister. Everything he’s done is in the hopes of finding her.
⛓️ It is ultimately Lou’s growing relationship with him that elevates her understanding of the world beyond her fluffy pink pillows and effortless existence. Lou begins to see the injustice that those forced to serve the wealthy endure.
💌 Favorite Moments:
🖇 HER: “But my whole life, I’ve seen so much that was wrong,” I whispered. “And I never questioned it. I never said a thing.”
🖇 HIM: “How could you have said a thing?” he said, squeezing my fingers gently, stilling them where they landed.
