This is the darkest book in the trilogy and definitely not for the faint hearted. Please go through the trigger warnings before you attempt some pretty brutal themes. But if you can stomach them, you shall be rewarded by beautiful damaged characters doing their best to survive, going to therapy (eventually) and making something of themselves. The Foxes are the best found family and Wymack and Abby are the true MVP's of this story

I couldn't put it down

strength is really in the characters, it’s not a work of literature but the characters are really well developed in my opinion. 
also the juxtaposition of neil being this hardened runaway mafia kid and then him being like “ARE we friends?” and all the romantic subtext going over his head,,,, i just think he’s neat, peak ace experience right there
