🟩 Sober Character w/ History of Alcoholism (no relapse)
🟩 Forest Fires
🟩 Parent Death (off page, previous)
🟩 Past Experiences with Homophobia (off page)
I’ve been waiting what feels like forever (in reality, like, 14 months) for Jeremy’s story. Because the other two books of this series happen semi-concurrently with this one, it means I got to read those brief glimpses into Jeremy’s love life with Davis, but it was so nice to finally experience it and watch them fall so deeply for one another.
Part of what I love so much about Nellie Wilson’s writing is that these are characters that are not only working through different parts of themselves (grief, anxiety, etc.), but they find their person in that they find the individual that loves them through these things. Watching Davis find people, both friends and Jeremy, that don’t make his sobriety a big deal makes my heart happy. He never has to explain himself and people don’t question it. They just move on to offering him seltzer or a diet coke in the most accepting way possible.
It’s wonderful to see Jeremy find that person, especially after he’s watched his friends find them. The epilogue scene especially got me, since he and Davis have found the perfect way to both have the careers they want while including the other in their lives, and it’s great to watch Jeremy’s (what I can only imagine is beautiful because I’ll never get to see it in person) house become a home.
The fire tower scene. That is all. 🔥
