The Right Swipe (Modern Love, #1)

by Alisha Rai

“I am not easy to hurt. I am a stone cold bitch when it comes to men. No rose-colored glasses here.”

It was so much easier to write people off. Much harder to navigate the gray areas of interpersonal relationships.

It would upset a lot of men she knew, to give the world the impression that they were anything but smooth as butter.

Nobody spoke enough about how much bodies could be starved for platonic affection. She knew she gave off strong Do Not Touch vibes, but she needed occasional hugs too.

“It’s not a weakness to take care of yourself. Asking for and taking what you need to function should never be considered a weakness.”
