Things I liked:
- he falls first and harddd
- found family + reconnecting
- sweetheart x sweetheart
- bi mc (and it not only being mentioned once)
- 'imperfect' characters
- mental health/personal growth
- the smooth switch between cute, spicy and deep
Could have had a few more scenes of them acting couple-y but not actually dating outside or one of the them watching movies together which was kind of their thing but only tell no show and the entire them becoming/being friends part was just completely left out...so sadly just some 'vibes' were missing.
Spice (quality&quantity):
2.75/5
not that frequent and not that detailed but really focusing on the connection between the characters involved which made it hot (we also love a man wholikes to eat out appreciates the fMC)

My thoughts
This book ruined me in the best way possible. Every time Hannah writes a book I think surely she can’t write anything better than this and then she does. This felt like free therapy. I’m not being dramatic when I say something in me healed alongside Lane and Matt.
Lane and Matt are both such fantastic characters and I could almost feel all their emotions coming off the pages. Lane is a little bit chaotic in the same way I am which made me feel so seen but also so loveable and fun. Matt is the sweetest baby angel and so selfless. Together they are a gorgeous duo and they have so much respect for each other and communicate in such a relatable and real way. I also had such a good laugh! I was constantly giggling to myself. It was a really special reading experience and Hannah really does have a little bit of my heart now.
P.s I almost forgot to say this is HOT. Like, so hot.

I would say that this read challenged me a bit because I was learning some new things about mental health, managing grief while having anxiety and depression. And it was heartbreaking what Lane has been through and seeing how she navigates through everything especially her relationship with Matt.
There was no doubt that they had such a strong connection from the very beginning. But I struggled with some of Lane's decision and not taking that extra step with Matt. It went on a lot longer than I expected and there were a moments towards the end where I was shedding tears for him.
There was a bit of a lull in the middle and got a bit to real and sad for me right at the end. I didn't quite have that happy feeling at the end.
Next of Kin still holds as my favorite of this series, but wished this one worked a bit more for me.
