    Summary

    It’s been two years since Karolina and Nico had officially broken up.
    It’s been longer since they actually dated —the process of breaking it off had occurred over many months, slow and painful, and one that left Karolina wondering if they’d ever been anything to begin with.
    Karolina doesn’t know if she’s gone a day without thinking about Nico in the meantime. She’s tried—oh, she’s tried. She’s dated other people, drank, hooked up, drank some more—but even still, she can’t stop thinking about Nico.

    Summary

    Ten years ago the Minoru family died at the gates of the Shining City, killed by its Guardian, Jonah. Only the eight-year-old Nico survived, fleeing into the depths of the Old Forest, a place devoid of human life and home to monsters and black magic.

    For ten years, Nico learns the ways of the woods and plots her vengeance on the Guardian who killed her family and the city that shuns her. But when she helps a group of young nobles from the Shining City, Nico meets a young woman called Karolina and forges a bond that will make her question what is stronger: her need for revenge or her desire for a new life.

    Summary

    So, honestly, this is the first time Karolina really meets Nico, when they’re both crying in the bathroom during the American Music Awards.
    Former religious turned indie pop singer-songwriter Karolina Dean is just trying to finish her breakthrough album. It'd be a lot easier if she could get a certain punk rock musician out of her head.

    Or, she was a girl. She was a girl. Can I make it anymore obvious?

    Summary

    “You know you've always wanted to give my mom a coronary,” Nico pitches with a conspiring tone, hand cupping her mouth and a spark in her eyes Karolina likes a bit too much.

    “I don’t know about that. Your mom kind of adores me.”

    “I know!” Nico throws her hands in the air with such flair Karolina is half expecting her to break out in a song, “It'd be weird, if you weren’t so damn likeable. Whatever, give your mom a coronary, then.”

    “That I can get behind.”

    “Good. Date me.”

    She chokes on her coffee, barely avoiding a full on spit take by sheer strength of will alone. “What?” she chokes out when she feels like her lungs have gone back to reside in her ribcage instead of wandering around her oesophagus.

    Nico ignores Karolina's struggle for air with nonchalance and takes her hand in hers kneeling on the kitchen's crumb covered tiled floor. “Karolina Dean, will you date me to piss off our families?"

     

    or "karolina ends up dating her best friend, what could go wrong?"
