♡ Rhett and Jessie's story was sooooo cute!!! They have both known each other since they were little kids, and their connection has never once stopped. They're literal soulmates. The mental health representation was also soooo well done! Sometimes, it can feel forced, not realistic, etc. But this book?! It was SO good. I felt so represented by some of the topics the book dealt with. I really liked that about the book. Another thing I liked was how both of them were in love with each other but didn't act on it before they had to put an end to their friendship. But even distance couldn't separate them because, after a couple of years, they found each other again. And they never, even once, stopped loving each other. And the tension there was between the two of them?!?! The protectiveness of Rhett... Girl, I need a man like that!!! 
 
And we get glimpses of the other siblings throughout the book, and I. AM. READY. FOR. EACH. ONE. OF. THEM. I *need* their book!!!
