Until I Get You by Claire Contreras
5.0
dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book - wow. From the very first chapter, Lyla and Lachlan had me hooked. This story had a lot of super heavy themes (TW: mention of suicide, death, murder, rape, to name a few), but I think Claire Contreras approached these topics in a delicate and tasteful manner. 

In addition to completely sucking me in, I found myself rooting for both Lyla and Lachlan throughout, which I really loved. These characters were in no way without their flaws and red flags, but that only made them more real. 

All that being said, I highly encourage anyone who may read this book to look at the trigger warnings first, as there were a few chapters that were very hard for me to read.
