So Right by Abby Millsaps An emotional, steamy, why choose romance from bestselling author Abby Millsaps. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Spence swore he had a plan. He assured us he had everything under control. He promised we could trust him. What he forgot to mention? His so-called plan was actually an emotional bombshell with enough force behind it to destroy us all. Technically, his plan worked—my mother and stepfather have ended their campaign to convince me to be a living organ donor. But the emotional damage and mental load of his big announcement has created a ripple effect throughout our cohort. Greedy  is haunted and despondent. Levi  is initially shocked, then filled with shame. Sione  is simply annoyed because he knows this is all a ruse. Spence  is stoic but more determined than ever to ensure our safety. As for me? I feel it all. Every sorrowful reaction and warranted frustration thrums through my veins. But there’s something else the...
