best friend has an idea~
Valerie Moreau has always been too much—too loud, too intense, too inked, too unapologetically herself. Half-French, half-Japanese, and fully on fire, she grew up dancing between languages and expectations, never quite fitting in anywhere. At eighteen, she's already burned through more lives than most people live in a decade. She works a boring desk job by day, but by night, she's sketching tattoos, scraping knuckles in alley fights, and daring the world to look her in the eye. But beneath the scowls and scars is a girl still searching—for freedom, for identity, for someone who sees past the barbed wire and chaos tattoos. Someone who doesn't just survive her heat... but matches it.
