I love Jadon and Reiss so much. Their relationship is raw and felt realistic in ways that I didn't expect. This coming of age story speaks to racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and more in such an approachable way. I love all the side characters, and the way the author beautifully describes the atmosphere. There is a bit of miscommunication, but it wasn't the main conflict of the story, and a lot of impeccabl fashion. Seeing as I cannot stop smiling after finishing this, I will definitely be reading more from Winters.
