“Maybe we are broken. But we put ourselves back together. We survived. That’s what makes us so powerful. And as for family—well, blood is always family, but family doesn’t always have to be blood.”

5 stars. 5 'worth the years of waiting' stars. My heart feels full. I've loved Vicious since I read it back in 2015 and have been ~~passively aggressively throwing shade~~ impatiently waiting for the sequel to even be announced since then.
