I don’t think I can express just how much I love this series! And this book in particular was so good. I loved that while it’s very dark, it has its light and funny moments too. Asa and Zane fit so well together and I love that they were both ridiculously smitten with each other.

One of the things that I liked about this book was that it didn’t shy away from some really dark topics. Like suicide, family trauma, and mental health, to name just a few. I also loved that Asa was so caring towards Zane, especially in some very vulnerable moments. They were both such sweethearts when they were around each other. This one is getting five stars. I can’t wait to dive into Avi’s book!
