That being said this one was harder to read than the other two, for reasons addressed in the author's content warning at the beginning of the book. Please read it and take it seriously! Spoiler for relating to a character and topics mentioned in content warning.

There are so many super sensitive topics that are discussed in a mature and empathetic way, such as suicide, mental illness, trauma, parenthood, and grief. I also really liked how Silvera depicted healing as never a linear process, how it’s almost always a constant uphill struggle, and how it’s normal and okay to fall backwards sometimes. I think it’s a really good introduction to young people who may not have heard of BPD before as it teaches them not to demonise those suffering from mental illnesses like BPD but also not to use one’s mental illness as an excuse for their behaviour, something that Paz learns throughout this book.
I liked both Paz and Alano, whom we see as all grown up after their appearances as children in TFTDATE, I thought their character arcs as individuals were really interesting and I also loved the PINING!! This is truly a slow-burn book, the characters don’t meet for 200 pages and then after that it’s just 500 pages of pining! I really liked how the plot was drawn out over several days so that the romance isn’t as insta-lovey compared to the other books. I’m really looking forward to (and scared of) seeing more of Paz and Alano’s story in the next instalment.
