Not being able to kiss, date or even talk to boys can really suck the fun out of a teenage girl's life. But that and a lot of trouble is the whole package you get with eight overprotective brothers.

"Krasivaya. It means beautiful, but with strength. Unique." Inspired by the award winning novel "Between Shades of Gray" by Ruta Sepetys, this one shot takes place in between the final chapter and prologue.

This is a story about Between Shades of Gray, one of my favorite books in the world. This is what happened AFTER the story ended. WARNING -- DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU WANT SPOILERS TO THE BOOK! YOU REALLY SHOULD READ THE BOOK FIRST - YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY LOST, UNLESS YOU WANT SPOILERS. THANK YOU!! This is about the story of Lina and Andrius's reconciliation, and more about the end of their hard labor. Thank you for reading!
