Trigger warnings: violence, mental health, death of a parent (in the past), blood, gore, torture, emotional abuse, animal death.
I was excited to read this purely because the dynamic between Carter and Gavin is so fantastic in the third book and then you get Carter's delightful "Am I bi?????" moment and it was just a joy.
This was darker a lot of the time than I anticipated. It deals a lot with separation from family and making the hard choices for something you're not sure about, and it turned out to be great. It took me a while to get into it, but the complex nature of Carter and Gavin's relationship is great and I really enjoyed the way Carter fights for what he wants.
There were some occasionally funny moments in this - namely, a certain gift from Joe and Kelly - that had me cackling out loud. But the ending was...a little less focused on Carter and Gavin than I would have liked. But that's probably a Me Thing rather than a Book Thing.
