    Summary

    Max Caulfield's life has been one tormented by the choice she made three years ago. Her mind can't seem to stop reminding her of it, as if suggesting that there was a better path, a greater choice, a happier ending.

    A fateful news report suggests that the whispers in her skull might be right.

    Meanwhile, half a state away, Victoria Chase is wasting her life away after being cut off from her parents' seemingly infinite funds, until the prospect of a new path flips her whole life on its head.

    Summary

    Adora looks – really looks – at Catra, and sees everything she missed the first time. Scars everywhere, on her face, her scalp, her neck, her hands, a burn scar right below her collarbone. She remembers Ms. Weaver and how she treated her and Catra and the other kids, borderline abusive and a nightmare of a woman. How she protected Catra when she could. How she wasn’t there to protect Catra anymore. And then it hits her.

    or

    Catra hates Adora so much that she talks to her like a normal person. Until she can't.

    Summary

    Adora and Catra grow up in foster care with a horrible excuse for a parent. It sucks, but they have each other...until they don't.

    When Adora is taken away, Catra's life changes forever. 10 years later, Adora is an aspiring investigative journalist at Brightmoon Times writing for Glimmer, who she lives with along with their friend Bow. She thinks life is good but doesn't realize what she's missing. On the other hand, Catra has always known what she's missing. She's finally pulling her life together, has a family and band called The Horde, and is getting sober.

    When the two meet again, it's not an idyllic fairy tale--it's a mess, and overwhelming, and incredible, but so, so confusing. And it's right. It's always been right.
