There is so much I relate to in this book: the protagonist who over-thinks herself into utter inaction and terrible anxiety, and her tendency to just ignore stuff, wanting it to go away and be done with; fan fiction, as both a writer and a reader; the setting, a university with an agricultural college; the hero, who comes from a ranching family; the absent/abandoning parent.

So many feels...

The Eight Dance was the very end of the...saga--it was going to settle everything-and Cath had to settle it her way first." Heh. Got the same thing going on with a fan fic I'm writing."
