Cruelty Free: A Novel

A sharp, ringing sound pierced the air, and Lila’s body turned rigid. Lila was like this tragic Pre-Raphaelite heroine in a Masshole’s body. Lila threw her entire body weight onto Greer’s chest until she let out a final, hopeless bubble of air. It should have made her feel whole inside, like she had, after eleven years of wandering, finally returned home.
