I have wanted this book desperately since 2016 and it lived up to every hope of what it could be.

Can I give more than 5 stars? Cause if I could I would because it's what this book deserves. I put those 5 stars when it showed up because I knew, I just knew, it was going to be good and I WAS RIGHT!!
My heart and soul are so broken, it took me two whole days to read it because I kept taking breaks to cry and try my best to deal with what was going on.
I'm so proud of Jean, he went through so much even as a little kid, he suffered so much yet, somehow, he found the strength to wake up and deal with another day, another torture, another practice. He never deserve any of that. I wish I could protect him and give him every that's good in life.

Thank you Nora, thank you for making this book.

♡ Jean Healing
♡ So Many Queer Characters
♡ Jeremy Being an Absolute Sweetheart

Everything about this book was fucking amazing!!  And the fact Nora had her sister design the cover again was so awesome.  While yes, a lot of this book was sad and filled with all the things Jean had to deal with—or at least most of the things he had to deal with, there was healing, a glimpse of hope for him and oh my god, if he doesn’t get the happiest of endings I will riot. 

Jeremy, the sunshine court himself was so wholesome.  His patients with Jean was written so lovely.  Their friendship (that hopefully is something more later) is so wonderful.  Jeremy doesn’t push Jean but doesn’t let him get away with his old methods of self-comfort.  There is a lot of work for Jean to do as far as getting fid of the Raven mentality/lifestyle but it’s so nice to see the start of healing with the shit hand of life he was dealt.  All the moments were Cat was teaching Jean how to cook and the forehead kisses were everything.  And Wymack being the stubborn person he can be, helping Jean while he recovers, like bro—I love Wymack so much 😭 he treated Jean as if he were one of his foxes.

Kevin being called out for his fanboy behavior for the USC Trojans had be laughing so much.  Neil being an absolute icon with his attitude problem still intact, and his ability to be a little shit to all authority figures was hilarious to read.  I was also really happy about Jean and Renee’s friendship, it was perfect.

Overall, I adored this book.  Reading about all the old characters again was so nice and the new characters were wonderful (a few got what they deserved, they know who they are) but USC is going to be a wonderful place to Jean to get the life he finally deserves.  And I’m so happy for him.
