Oof, this was a tear jerker! It was good though.
CW There's a lot of stuff surrounding grief and survivor's guilt from the death of a parent.
🌶️ 3.5/5 for a few explicit scenes
🎧 1st person POV (FMC), single female narrator, good acting.
🏳️🌈✊ The MMC is biracial, he has a white father and a Samoan mother. The FMC is bisexual. One member of their close friend group is Black and trans, and her partner is Honduran. The other couple in the friend group, from book 1 in this series, have a non traditional family structure (young adults raising their siblings).
