The Reckless Kind by Carly Heath
4.0
Wow.
As an ace person, seeing Asta's struggles to understand and define herself and her desire for a QPR were so real.
Found family is one of my favorite troupes (especially in queer books) and it was done so beautifully in this book that it made me want to cry. (re: the QPR)
Finally, the characters in this book deal with a lot of trauma: injuries and chronic conditions, coming out, and just general your life gets thrown for a loop trauma. I've been through a lot of these similar traumas and the way it was in this book just made my heart ache. It was so real and this push and pull of never knowing if you're making progress and how the people around you affect you ugh it just it was written so wholly. I appreciated so much of what this book is.
(Oh and Nils? Such a bastard.)
