The best LGBT+ book I ever read. Some people might be able to connect wi5 the characters in the book and I my self saw my self in the book. Love it very emotional made me cry 2 times while I read. There was plenty of funny chapters and love able characters. I do wish I had a boyfriend like Nico.

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.

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.

This is absolutely the best book in this entire series. I am dead serious. Literally now in my Top 5 favorite books of all time!

This story between Nikolai and Brandon was a rollercoaster of emotions. I laughed, I cried, I sobbed, etc. I haven't felt this much emotion over a queer love story in years. Everything about this book from the characterization of Niko and Bran, Rina Kent's writing, the struggles both MMCs face, and their HEA is perfection!

I would still highly suggest whoever reads this book really soak in the trigger warnings in the author's note. I did get somewhat triggered during a scene about halfway through the book, but it's okay and I managed to get through the rest of it very easily after that. I also suggest having tissues on hand when reaching Chapters 35-38. The final chapters of the book are the most emotional chapters in the entire story, in my personal opinion.

Nikolai is actually the greenest flag in this entire series and I also related very heavily to Brandon. I have never wanted to jump into a book and hug a character so badly before in my life. I also never wanted to murder a fictional character more than I have a certain somebody that I won't spoil for anyone. But if you know, you know.

I highly recommend this book if you want an emotional queer story involving mental health issues, trauma, and two MMCs who are basically meant for each other with some delicious spice on the side. I could rant and rave about this book for ages, but I won't. I just want more people to read this beautiful masterpiece. I can't wait for Rina Kent to delve more into the MM genre if she's managed to make something as amazing as this was.
