Caraval (Caraval, #1)

by Stephanie Garber

Scarlett could feel some of her terror slip away. Not everyone reacted like her father.

for a moment she imagined her father actually loved her, that maybe deep down he really cared.

For years her father tore her down. Over and over, she had let him. She’d allowed him to make her feel worthless and powerless. But she was neither of those things. She was done allowing her fear to make her weaker, to eat away at the meat on her bones until she could do nothing but whimper and watch.
