4.0

A reread for me! This story hits all the emotional feels and has a lot of heavy topics. I love that the book not only has a romantic relationship between Salem and Thayer, but it also explores a self-discovery journey for Salem. There are many sweet moments, and also many that will break your heart. The ending is unconventional and leaves you with a cliffhanger, so be sure to have the next book ready to go!
