While I did enjoy the book there is a side plot with cheating with the MC parents that I thought was unnecessary. It also never got resolved in the end so I don’t get the point of it. Also I wished the book was longer so you got to better experience each of the MCs

Thank you Netgalley for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review.
4.25/5 ⭐️
Sonora Reyes has officially become an auto-buy author for me. They did a magnificent job balancing the hard subjects of rape and SA while also having fun, uplifting moments.
I loved the friendship Ari and the others had created. They all supported each other so much and it was so sweet.
I also adored the way autism was portrayed here. It was so well done and thought out.
Ari and Shawni were so freakin adorable. I loved the way they slowly came to trust each other.
Overall, a fantastic sophomore novel and I’m so excited for it to come out.
