“Tom Valeska has an animal inside him, and I’ve felt it every time he’s looked at me.”ĭarcy makes many references to Tom being a growling animal that only she can see, while everyone else saw him as a sweet good boy growing up and a stand-up guy as an adult. Jamie claimed Tom as his best friend and Darcy claimed him as her Valeska. Watching friends try to work their relationship into the love they have felt since they were teens was an emotional rollercoaster.ĭarcy and her twin brother Jamie have fought over Tom since he moved into the rental house across from their family home when they were all eight years old. I was in love with Tom, sad when he wasn’t there, thrilled and turned on when he was, cried when Darcy wanted to cry. While reading 99 Percent Mine, I experienced every emotion Darcy felt.

Everything about Darcy and Tom’s story checked off all my boxes for a crush/second chance romance. Sally Thorne is not one hit wonder!! Her second novel 99 Percent Mine is perfect (just like Tom!).
