What is our girl Willow up to in the second book of the De Beers series? Getting married, obviously but also becoming besties with a professor who doesn't understand professional boundaries and ignoring a bunch of signs that her brother needs to get some serious help. Listen to hear one chapter of a very VC Andrews plot and like 15 chapters of red flags being ignored by a 20 year old girl who maybe should ask for some help.
