I wanted to give up as my Gofundme has been active May 24th and I have gotten $0 donations. Sometimes I have fleeting moments of motivation, like today to advocate for myself. Please don’t let this be in vain. It is incredibly hard to put your whole face on the internet to beg. Thank you.

Thinking about this page tonight. Remembering why the book makes people cry. This page would make me cry, right now, if I was still capable of such things.

My husband is going out of town for a week and I want to do something small but spontaneous. If this gets 75 notes by January 30 I’m buying a kindle now instead of waiting until graduation in April like I planned on
appreciate your reader friends, you don't know how much effort goes into pretending to be okay in front of you, when internally we're crying because our favorite side character died.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT:
Tennal is a vapid socialite with the ability to read minds, and Lt. Surit Yeni is a soldier with a chip on his shoulder who has been tasked with using his own neuromodifications to overpower Tennal’s will and conscript him into service within the space military. But Surit’s not (that much of) an asshole, so they lie to all the space soldiers with all their space guns. But then a chaotic salvage-retrieval mission upends a decades-old power struggle and also compromises the security of their falsehood. Can two unwilling weapons of war bring about peace?
