I love TJ Klune. He rips out your heart but then puts it back and you can’t stop reading. You love the characters and root for them. I thought this would be an automatic 5 star! 

I loved all the characters and I did root for everyone! It was a little uncomfortable for me possibly because it was YA and everyone was family but there were some romantic overtones. Everyone was just too young and maybe too much of an age gap for me. There’s definitely trigger warnings that probably should have been noted in the beginning of the book. 

But I’ve been told the other books are way way better. I bet they will have 5 stars. We shall see!

I certainly enjoyed parts of this book more than others. It feels very indulgent in ways I didn’t mind, but some people may find it cringey. Deeply heartfelt and angsty, while also a little repetitive at times. It does feel like the repetition is a choice based on the narration style, but repetitive nonetheless. The book could have been shorter based on the simplicity of the plot, but there were many good character interactions that bulked it out, and I enjoyed seeing how all the characters’ intimacy unfolded in that way. Character conversations and narrator introspection is the focus, rather than external worldbuilding. 

I am familiar with Klune’s other works, and this absolutely feels like something he wrote prior to finding his author’s voice and style. But honestly, I came here for indulgent, angsty, queer werewolves and I was definitely not disappointed.

There is a significant age gap between the main characters who eventually end up in a relationship, which some may find unsettling
