  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I'm so glad I stuck around for this one because it was so worth it. While I found the first half of the book hard to get into, probably because it was filled with grief and loss, and as  someone who's struggling with their own grief and loss I couldn't bring myself to listen. However I absolutely adored the second one (grief was still there, but it was not as heavy as it first was). 
I have nothing but praise for Deonn for showing how easy it is to be inclusive towards queer and trans people in her writing.
Looking forward to reading/listening to the sequel.

ps: on a negative note, I was not sold on Nick from the beginning AND I was not a fan of the insta-love between him and Bree. Sel though, Sel I LOVED from his very first scene.
