🚨‼️𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁!!! (No actual spoilers!) But if this book is in your house right now, go ahead and book a massage.
Your nervous system has been on edge for this book and we already assume there will be heartache.
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: touch does something pain and stress can't override. When you're on our table, your body shifts out of fight-or-flight and into a state where your nervous system can actually downregulate. Heart rate slows, cortisol drops, and your body remembers how to rest. Even gentle compression works this way. It's not just relaxing, it's giving your nervous system a signal of safety it can respond to.
So if a book has had you in an emotional chokehold and you find yourself tearing up on our table, that's not weird. That's called an emotional release, and it happens more than you'd think. Zero judgment here. Ever.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂: if this book (or honestly, any book) has left you wrung out, this is exactly what a massage is for.
And if you didn't manage to grab a copy during presale, All Good Books still has some in stock. PS: if you prefer audio books, you can order it Libro.fm Audiobooks and still support local!
