I was so engrossed in this book! When leaving for a trip, I borrowed it on Libby so I could continue reading. Imagine my dismay when it was not compatible with my kindle š Finally finished though, and I loved it.
Watching the relationships between Zan and his humans was fascinating. Most of the main characters had plenty of growth as well.
Parents: There are a few parts that touch on 15yo (I think?) Benās budding love life. He has a crush on a girl, mentions feeling ādesireā for her, there are a few make out sessions, and one mention of him feeling arousal. I canāt recall the exact wording on that. It was all fairly innocent and age-appropriate in my opinion.
