The banter in this one was hilarious! I wish it would have ended a little bit less abruptly but otherwise, I enjoyed this story just as much as Verity's

I have so many words and none at all! How did Terry J not get hit with the sequel blues bc this read was literally everything?! EVERYTHING! I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. The adventure, the storytelling, I felt like I was watching a movie. THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE!! 

There is nothing bad that you can say about this book.. hell.. about TJBW! I won't allow it.

There is a reason why Shon is my favorite and this novella here shows why. It is not easy to find representation of depression where the individual does not seek professional help but this? This nailed it so perfectly. It hit so close to home that I wept several times during this read. Depression shows up so differently for everyone and to have a character depict what I feel on a cycled basis.. it just feels so good to be seen. Depressed girls need love and care too! Especially those who constantly have to show up for others

This story was literal perfection

At no point did I know what was going to happen next. This book was not at all what I expected but I definitely enjoyed the story.
