4.5

Actually rating it higher because I didn’t have to gag through heterosmut. The exploration of emotional baggage, PTSD, abandonment, abuse, familial deaths, untreated mental illness, fear of commitment, broken families, foster and found family is done so well - and a lot better than most fiction I’ve read. I might know what hobbies they like or what they do in their free time per se, but I felt more connected to the MCs in a way more authors fail to achieve.
