Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh
Omg literally so good

So much more than just a romance. It’s got such great family drama and toxicity. I’m not a romance girly so if I recommend one that means it’s really good.

Nobody writes toxicity like Jessa Hastings. If you like gossip girl READ THIS. #chuckandblair
