This book was so great. It was so moving and full of trauma that the characters were working through. I LOVE seeing characters slowly begin to trust each other and open up and we got a lot of that in this book. It was brilliant and I loved both Jax and Elena. Be prepared for lots of emotions with this one, it is pretty heavy going but the way it all worked out was beautiful.

The “why” behind Jax’s aversion to a real relationship takes awhile to be revealed, which made it hard to connect with his character. I liked this book, but I didn’t love it. I did enjoy the epilogues, and I’m excited to read the last book of the series !

I cried. Didn’t expect to, but I did. This book addresses grief, terminal illness, and mental health full on. Maya and Jax’s relationship is one of the least shallow ones that I’ve read in a while. Not because they both had their demons on display throughout the book, but because they chose to love each other and build a future together knowing that shit is going to get ugly and that they’ll have no choice but to compromise. Jax’s line about being a broken mosaic that still proves to be beautiful is fitting.
