This book is cute, funny, romantic and rammed full of emotion! I adored the friendship between Jesse, Cas and Morgan and loved seeing how their dynamics changed and developed over the course of the book. I also loved the relationship between Jesse and his mum which was really sweet.
Jesse’s worries about his appearance after his heart surgery were so well written and so it was unsurprising to discover in the author’s note just how personal this book is to William Hussey. I also think it is something which will resonate with other young people who have scars: beauty is not only about appearance.
Throw in the shooting of a zombie film and tonnes of references to horror films and I think there’s something for everyone to enjoy in this book! Jesse is so precious.
Thank you to Usborne, William Hussey and NetGalley for my early review copy in exchange of a fair and honest review.
