« With a sigh, Ruth collected a few glasses from the table and followed.
The Kabbah women cooked Sunday dinner together, even though Ruth was a known disaster area. She prepared cassava and sliced yam.

The heavy-duty cooking was mostly left to Mum—but both daughters insisted that she sit out when it was time to clean up.
So as soon as Ruth stepped into the kitchen, her sister shut the door. Hot water was already filling the sink, and plastic Tupperware was on the counter, ready to hold leftovers.
Hannah paid no mind to anything but Ruth. She leant against the room’s narrow island, her arms folded. “Go on, then,” she said. “Tell me.”

Encore un superbe moment avec les personnages de Talia.
Le personnage de Ruthe m'a très touché et j'ai trouvé Evan très adorable.
J'adore comment Talia traite des sujets sérieux ici en l'occurrence le harcèlement, la maltraitance, le rejet etc... avec un personnage très intéressant.

Résumé
She's the town pariah. He doesn't give a damn.
In Ruth Kabbah’s world, comic books are king, silence is golden, and human contact is a pesky distraction. She doesn’t like people, which works out just fine, because the people in this small town don’t like her. The exception to that rule? Evan Miller, her way-too-charming next-door neighbour...
Ex-military man Evan is all tattooed muscle on the outside—and a big, cuddly teddy bear beneath. He’s used to coaxing prickly people from their shells, but he’s never met a woman quite like Ruth. Blunt, sarcastic, and secretly sad, she’s his exact opposite. She’s also his deepest desire. Soon, Evan’s steady patience and smouldering smiles are melting Ruth’s reserve. But when small-town gossip from her past begins to poison her future, she’s forced to make a choice. Should she trust Evan completely? Or is her heart safest alone?
