The Heart Principle

This book is disjointed but it really really works for me. I'm a sucker for romances where the main characters are kind to each other and this book has that in spades. Even when it gets dark (and boy does it get dark) the characters are so unfailingly patient and vulnerable with each other that it tempers the darkness. I've personally struggled to read romances with darker themes this year because I've wanted light and fluffy, but honestly reading this felt necessary. It was important for me to read about people being lovely to each other even in the midst of all the heavy stuff going on.
