Summary
Clara Stahlbaum had been warned about boys with dark hearts and pretty tongues. They made you feel so beautiful and so clever with their wicked words like breath against the shell of your ear—or a kiss at the base of your throat—you never even felt the knife they slipped between your ribs to cut out your heart.

She fell in love with him anyway.
