(just because I think there should also be added more trigger warnings - possible to add mental health issues like PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and ADHD)

It's so "funny" (and, yes, I'm being sarcastic). In the introductions, Rina Kent wrote that this book was not as dark as the previous one in the series, while in my opinion, it is the darkest one. The issues addressed in this book were some of the most heartbreaking and soul-shattering ever (swear, I felt the same twisting feeling as when I read Hunting Adeline 1st half of the book)

To the ones who scream in silence.

With this book, I emphasize the need to read and understand all triggers. This was not an easy read.

And I'm beyond sad and distraught thinking that so many readers are so closed-minded and homophobic and couldn't see beyond MM relationship to understand the whole other and more important topic described in the book. 

Thank God for the perfectly executed banter (chemistry was out of the charts), and for transforming one of the most questionable MMCs in the greenest of the green flags ever. And thank God for the sensitivity in understanding and describing the complex behavioral development in the adolescent/ young adult age. - one undoubtedly fantastic educational read for a parent (especially parents of teens).

Overall boring. The audio narration was fabulous and the only reason I was able to get through it. Constant rehashing of the same plot point with little payoff

When I say I devoured this, I mean I cried at when it was over bc it was so good I couldn’t cope. I love their love. Bran is a sweet baby and Niko is such a teddy bear! I adore their relationship.

Minor: Addiction, Classism

Bran deals with trauma he endured as a teen by using self harm to cope. He struggles with self loathing, While trying to be perfect. Niko has mania or possibly a bipolar disorder - it’s never clarified - medications are talked about and though there are some negative comments in his internal monologue the bulk of it was mainly positive and there was no shame for needing medication.
