Loved Bane’s and Jesse’s love. If you’re triggered by sexual assault, I wouldn’t recommend reading this book. Jesse’s main struggle is overcoming the trauma of being gang raped a year prior by her boyfriend at the time and his friends. She was also gaslighted by other adults in her life to downplay her experience. 

It’s a hopeful book though and has a good ending so it’s a heartfelt story if you can push through.
