I'm forcing myself to branch out from my usual YA LGBTQ romance books, but only slightly. I love how the story showcases an "urban fantasy" twisted into this story, understanding what a dryad is, and seeing how stories with a fantasy theme do not always have to be bright and cheerful.
Getting to know Quill and his background could be relatable. I felt like it was something similar that I experienced during my teenage years, with all that angst and attitude. (Granted, I wasn't homeschooled or kept away from society to the point where I didn't know how to interact with another human.)
I did feel like the ending with Azazel felt rushed and could have easily been dragged out a bit longer, by tinkering with Quill's family a bit more or messing with Liam's circle. The ending was cute enough, giving a sense of "true love".
One more thing, I felt the jacket blurb was a bit misleading. It was overhyped than the actual story presents itself.
