The quiet kind of ruin

hey guys! this is a contest version of the mirror between us- I really wanted to try this contest when I saw it ;-;



here's about the book:



Some wounds don’t bleed. Some hearts don’t break loudly. But they ruin you all the same.



Kit Honey lives like a ghost in his father’s mansion — quiet, obedient, and drowning in secrets he refuses to name. But when Delorah LaRoche transfers into his school with ink-stained fingers and something fierce behind her smile, she doesn’t just see him — she starts to understand him.



Their connection is instant, undeniable, and terrifying.



But Kit has rules:

Don’t get close.

Don’t get attached.

Don’t let her see what’s left of you.



Because his name isn’t really Kit.

Because his brother is watching.

Because love—real love—might be the most dangerous thing he’s ever known.



In a world of quiet wars and silenced truths, what happens when the thing you crave most is the one thing you’re told to destroy?
