I loved this book! It was fun to get to see more of Benson! He was always the character you kinda hated, but towards the end of Jeremy and Aaron's story, he was way less shitty. I ended up just feeling awful for him with the way he suffered so much his whole life because of something he had no control over. I think Jack was a perfect partner for him. Having someone who loved and cared for him was something he needed so desperately, but letting himself accept it was something he needed to let himself do. I also liked that he stood up and made Jack realize he had work to do, too. The combined drama of their relationship and the overarching plot drama mixed with Benson's family drama made this book hard to put down, and I thought it all came together in the end perfectly.
