Another incredible story by Racquel Marie. I've loved everything she's ever put out before and this is no exception. I felt a lot of different emotions in this book. Bea and Santiago were such great characters and I loved their POVS. Whitney, Olive, Dustin and even Bryce had such major impacts on them and the story as a whole too. This was about friendship and grief and learning to live your live for yourself and not for others . I think it was a truly powerful story that everyone should read.
