This book really did surprise me. After reading the summary, I expected the relationship to be more shallow and drawn out. But, at 400 pages, there was a lot of character development that was focused on not just the relationship, but individually. It was also healthy development, which tends to be missing so much in YA. I did find that Sophie's character was more fleshed out and well written, but I am familiar with her writing style already so that may be why. Overall, great read!
Moderate: Drug abuse and Emotional abuse
Minor: Addiction, Biphobia, Cursing, Homophobia, Car accident, and Gaslighting
Scenes are all "fade to black" but the lead up is honest and open. Discussions of safe sex practices.
