    Summary

    Enid paused her studies, quit her job, broke up with her boyfriend, and generally blew up her life to take a gap year backpacking around Europe. By chance, she meets Welsh grad student Wednesday Addams on a train to Munich.
    -
    When Wednesday pulled back, their foreheads still pressed together, she licked her lips. Enid wanted to whimper. She wanted to fall to her knees.

    Summary

    After twelve years in the public education system, Wednesday has arrived at the conclusion that it's better to be a loner. Enid strongly disagrees.
    -
    Wednesday pulled her typewriter in front of her and slotted in a page, stealing occasional glances at Enid, who stuck her tongue between her teeth as she read, paper held inches from her face.

    It was … endearing.

    Wednesday wanted to smack herself.

    Summary

    “You’re the new bartender?” Ianthe asks, glancing at Gideon with something resembling distaste. “Come back at tomorrow at four pm. Harry’s going to show you the ropes.” 

    “Don’t call me that,” Harrow says automatically. Then, as the rest of Ianthe’s sentence sinks in: “Wait, I’m what?” 

    “You’re training her,” Ianthe says. She’s smiling pleasantly, but Harrow catches the demonic flash of schadenfreude behind it. “Try not to kill each other, will you?”

    Summary

    Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”

    Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.

    “Ava, what the fu—”

    *

    Or,

    Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

    Summary

    Being seventeen sucked. It sucked even more when you'd spent the last nine years falling in love with your best friend.
    -
    “I can’t believe you like me,” Enid said, almost falling asleep.

     

    Wednesday’s breathing was soft and even. For a moment, Enid wasn’t sure she was still awake.

     

    Then, “Who else is there?”
