I might be a little obsessed with Simon. He’s selfish and a lunatic, but I fell in love with him. In so many moments I thought I saw a normal man emerging, only for him to keep proving me wrong. He’s truly insane and I like him all the more for it. He kept me on my toes. I never knew how he’d react next. Plus, he’s tall and sexy.

I’m looking forward to starting the next book and seeing what will happen next at this crazy carnival!
