This book... was something. The writing was real good, but perhaps the themes were just not my thing. It made me long for college in the stupid mid-covid zoomester. It's the characters for me. They had a whole lot of issues and while it was clear that together they found a semblance of sanity and a safe port always available... I thought it was very much dependant and all around not good in the long term. Finally, open endings and on and off relationships are just not my thing. Malvaez if you read my review, know that I only finished it because you said you liked it.
