Publisher's summary

NOW A HIT NETFLIX MOVIE • The bestselling international sensation and viral TikTok phenomenon—a dark, sexy, haunting novel of two aching young adults who are taken in by the same family and forced to reckon with a destructive love that could be the undoing of them both

“Ready for the next Twilight?”—People

Growing up in a ghastly orphanage run by an abusive matron, Nica coped in the only way she could—by retreating to her imagination, where she lived out fantastical stories, especially about the Tearsmith, the man who makes tears, a terrifying figure who forges all the fears that dwell in people’s hearts.

When she’s finally taken in by an adoptive family at seventeen, Nica thinks she’s leaving the group home, its torments, and her prison of otherworldly tales behind her. That is, until Rigela young man raised from birth in the same dreadful orphanagejoins her new family.

Rigel is as mesmerizingly handsome as he is troubled, and he and Nica have a long history of distrust and hostility. But as they come to live together again under one roof, the deep shared trauma of surviving such vicious circumstances sparks something magical, and Nica begins to fall for Rigel’s forbidden love.

Before any relationship can become reality, though, they’ll have to face the darkness of their past . . . and the dangerous stakes of pursuing a future together.

The best

Where has this book been? It was one of the best I’ve listened to in a very long time. It took several days to get through, but I never felt like any part was repetitive. The narrator’s Rigel voice was perfect, but it worked.

Hmmm…can’t decide how much I liked it

I can’t decide how much I like this book or not. I found myself listening to it at 2.0 speed about halfway through. I actually thought there might be some sort of fantasy element eventually, but nope…not that it needed that for me to like or dislike. I used a credit…wished it was available via Libby or Hoopla! However,, I wanted to listen to it prior to watching the movie..🤷🏻‍♀️

The smooth way the narrator told the story.

I saw the movie first, and thought it was missing things. I then went to see if there was a book, and wala here it is. I loved Nica and Rigle's story. I will be reading and listening to this book again.

A Hauntingly Beautiful Story

A beautiful story, well written. I watched the netflix version and it left so many details out I had to read/listen to the book. It was hauntingly beautiful.
