It was so great to get a part 2 for Ilya and Shane--I love them so much, they're one of my all time favorite couples!! This book was so much more than I thought it would be. I liked that we focused more on Ilya's internal struggles this time around. I think we got some very important insight to depression on this book. Not all mental health presents in the same way and it's good to hear different representations of it. Needless to say, we also get all the good lovey dovey moments between our couple that were less in book 1. Way to hit it out of the park, Rachel.

CW: talk of mental health and depression, strict dieting (not harmful, but discussed a lot), talk of suicide (Ilya's mom, this isn't a spoiler), relating to LGBTQIA+ sensitivity->

I just think they’re neat 😭😭😭😭

I cried, I laughed until I cried, I pterodactyl screeched, I threw the book across the couch many times.

There’s a line in HR where Ilya wants to smash burning campfire embers into his eyes bc he just feels too much when he looks at Shane and that’s how I felt reading this, which is my favorite kind of story.

I would fight the entire NHL with my bare hands for the Centaurs and Shane and especially precious angel baby Ilya 😤
Also the trophy room scene will be living in my head rent-free until the day I die BYYYEEEE
