"Review of 'The Crimson Sky' by Isabella Rossi." Her breath caught. The book, the plot, the characters, everything about it belonged to her. The world seemed to tilt. A sob escaped her lips.

She grabbed the closest thing – a heavy book – and flung it across the room. It crashed against the wall, the sound echoing in the silent apartment. She didn't care.

She wanted to tear her hair out, to scream until her voice was raw. She needed to destroy something, to somehow reclaim what had been stolen. She fell to the floor, her body wracked with silent tremors.
