Oh god. I knew this book was going to ruin me but I didn't think it'd ruin me this good. I loved Bastone's last book, and as soon as I knew this was coming out I knew I had to read it. I fell in love with Lenny and Miles, and the ways they cared for each other. Lenny is messy, and Miles doesn't care. He loves her for all her mess, and he never once pushes her to be ready for something she's not ready for. He's caring and kind and deserves so much more than he realizes. She's just as in love with him, and it's so refreshing to read a story about two people who help each other heal and love each other equally. Definitely one of my favorites of the year.
