  I liked this alot , it was slow going but in a realistic way , especially when it comes to growing friendships and feelings. I do have some problems with it though 
I was alright with Cas until the mf turned into a predator for a idk?? some gotcha moment towards Dev? like it came so out of left field , him showing up with a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD TO HOMECOMING AND HOLDING HER WAIST?? I know this happens alot in real life but there shouldve been a bigger proble  addresses with that. He should've gotten stomped out for that wtf. And the way he dropped the fact that he knew Dev liked him was so cruel , I'm not surprise  they didnt talk it out since she mentioned they avoided confrontations before. I truly hope thats a friendship that ended bc the mf was WEIRD.
 

 On the other hand Foster was a sweetheart,  a super smart kid going through a tough time , thankfully surrounded by people who care about him. Dev's wake up call being him was nice to see , as someone who takes care of my niece sometimes , kids younger than you can really shake you into action and I'm glad to see that with her. She grew in the end and stood true to herself while doing it. I kinda want a sequel but I understand these are one of those books you gotta let sit by itself.
