Chester oh Chester. How I love you. And want to squish you. And cuddle you. And burrito you. And just love you endlessly!! I totally understand how Fin met him and instantly went on high alert and needed to be near him (even if it’s just as Buddy).  
And my stars, Finlay…. How do I even begin with this sweet, brokenhearted male. Ugh. I just adore him. The book starts with so much grief and heartbreak and devastation…But, even with all his grief, Fin can still find something worth taking a risk for. He can totally thank “Uncle Cal” for that one. 
I loved this first novel on the new spinoff series… or is it a third gen spinoff.. anyways. What a beautiful book and great way to include some of our quirky, loveable OG characters. OH! I can’t forget about Reid! Oooooooo I need him burritoed in a blanket and keep him safe. I just love him.
