Escaping the Perfect Life My Mother Built for Me

My mother molded me into a tool for her own vanity, sharpening my grades and my manners to spite my cousin. She thinks I am the perfect, obedient daughter who thrives on her impossible demands, but she doesn’t realize I am suffocating inside a cage built of her toxic expectations. Then comes Lucas—a boy who sees the jagged cracks in my porcelain mask and dares to hand me the hammer. He thinks he’s my savior, but he has no idea what happens when a girl with nothing left to lose finally stops apologizing for existing. When the perfect daughter stops playing her part, who will be left to clean up the wreckage?
