This was equal parts swoony as it was devastating. I loved that these characters felt so raw and real. The juxtaposition between the will they won’t they friendship and the instant love got me in my feels. But I was firmly team Max this entire book! I didn’t expect the book to go into so many darker themes but I appreciated that a romance read was willing to “go there”!
