Parece una obviedad decir que Nate y Xavi no son Mad y Devon. Pero es necesario para entender que si bien su dinámica y su historia es diferente, Nordika logra mantener el clima que te atrapa en los primeros dos libros. Lo empecé a leer con cautela porque la experiencia de Garron Park y Lot 62 fue incomparable, sobre todo por la vulnerabilidad de los personajes, porque sufren de circunstancias con las que muchos podemos identificarnos, por su aventura de amor, sí, pero también de supervivencia, de encontrar una familia que te proteja y contenga cuando la que te tocó en la lotería es cruel y horrible. El tropo de Found Famuily en From Nothing es FUERTE. Pero leer el desenlace de la historia de Nate y Xavi me hizo darme cuenta de que lo que volvió a los dos primeros libros tan entrañables no era sólo la rivalidad entre Mad y Dev, lo que se decían o cómo se trataban, sino el CONTEXTO. Lo que les pasó, cómo lo resolvieron y cómo se salvaron. Y ESO sigue siendo la base que estructura Knock Knock, sigue siendo sobre personajes quebrados y sufridos que encuentran a alguien que los entiende, que los ayuda, que los ama. Nate y Xavi antes eran solamente esos que "salvaban" a los protagonistas. Acá encuentran su propia red de contención. Su camino es diferente pero el contexto desgarrador sigue siendo el mismo. Lo único que no me gustó tanto fue el recurso de la miscommunication. Es un tropo que evado y acá tuvo cierta importancia. Por lo demás, una joya. Muchas gracias por el ARC!

YES. Just fucking yes. I love the From nothing series. Obsessed. 
Xavi and Nate’s story was just..lovely and stupid and cute and hot af! It was both similar and yet different than Maddox and Devons story, but I loved that we got to return to Garron Park and meet both the old characters and that we got to meet some new ones!

Nate and Xavi were so sweet and chaotic. It had a completely different tone than the rest of the series, and it fit these characters so well.

As much as I loved Devon and Maddox, Xavi and Nate have my whole heart.
I loved how wholesome this book was in such a shitty world. I will miss these characters so much!

This story was everything I wished for Nate and Xavi, the vibe is sooo different from their brothers, and their connection is just beautiful. You can see how it’s hard for them to go forward and make their relationship evolve, it’s scary as f*ck !!

After a year and since their new night activity at 3, Nate realised that he wants Xavi all for himself, that he wants to touch him, love him even more. Meanwhile, Xavi finally sees that there is something different with Nate, this thing with girls is not working anymore, something is missing. There is a barrier between them, as they work through it, they will discover what their relationship truly means and what they want in their life.

I was truly excited for this book, Nate and Xavi took my heart away from the beginning, it’s truly two golden retrievers being together, there is something extra sweet about them, they just connect and click together.
I’m beyond happy to see this series go to an end with this finally, they deserve their happy ending !!

I received an ARC Copy of this book from the author, this review is from my own thoughts

I was NOT prepared for how much I'd laugh while reading. I knew it'd be a cute story because of how close they were as best friends, but oh my God, I have so many highlights
