And she always gets what she wants.When Jess tries to break things off, she finds that Cassandra simply won’t take nofor an answer, and now, really, really bad things keep happening. When ghostingsomeone simply doesn’t work, what comes next? Burning? It’s the ultimate toxicrelationship.Still, there are some upsides: suddenly, Jess’ music career is booming, and herkeepy-uppy game is on point. T o the outside world, it seems like she’s finally thriving.But the downsides are…pretty gory. As Jess and her childhood best friend Priyawork together to figure out how to shut the relationship down for good, Cassandramanages to embed herself deeper into Jess’ family and friendship group, meaning there are fewer places that Jess can escape to, until avoidance (Jess’ favourite crutch) simply isn’t an option any more.
