This bookwas really painful but also really good and important and so relatable and affirming and for that I'm very thankful and I think I always will be.

Please do look up the trigger warnings before diving into this. Deaver does deal with them very, very well, if I might say so.

Great queer-rep, BIPOC-characters, a neuro-divergent girl and an MC that is SO FUCKING RELATABLE. How could I rate this anything below 5 stars. All the characters, but especially Ben and Nathan, have my whole heart and I am  this close to immediately rereading this one. It utterly deserves the free slot on my all-time-favs-shelf.

4.0

I’d been wanting to read this one for a while and it did not disappoint!! It’s written so well and I was so immersed in the story, I truly cannot say enough good things about this book. It’s just so good and feels so real and has angst and there's a beautiful romance in it and AHH!!!! read it read it read it. But mind the TWs i was Not prepared going in.
