This book had me stressed from start to finish.  The author does a fantastic job with writing characters who truly make my blood boil and situations that had me on the edge of my seat. 

My favorite part about this book besides the emotional rollercoaster it threw me on was the talks about labels with the kiddos. It felt so natural and joyful 💕

The third book can’t come fast enough!

Also enjoyed this, especially seeing the different side of things with the new community. And I appreciate fantasy just straight up using queer terms etc.
