Thanks to Forever for the free e-ARC of this book! All thoughts are my own! 

Jackie needs some jail time. She’s fucked up, and I genuinely wanted to see her downfall. I wish we had gotten more closure on that part of the story. With how extreme her actions and behavior was, I needed there to be some sort of resolution to that part of the story. I couldn’t believe that she would just give up and leave them alone to save her reputation. 

There was a trigger warning for physical and emotional abuse, but I feel like it needed to be more specific. It’s also probably my fault too, because I just assumed it was either parental abuse or past abuse since it wasn’t a very clear warning. I think it would’ve been better to have a more specific trigger warning for that situation. I’m not even someone who really needs trigger warnings. However, I believe others would benefit from a more precise warning. 


I loved everyone else in this book, though. I loved the side characters, Leti and Tatiana!! They were amazing and so fun. I really enjoyed their connections to our main characters. I enjoyed our main characters as well, even if I feel like Kenny needs some serious help to undo all the damage Jackie did to him. Han was amazing. His family was amazing. I really loved them all. 

The plot was good, I enjoyed Han’s journey to realizing he was gay. I loved his friendship  and relationship with Kenny. This book is full of so much love and care for these characters and the world they’re navigating. It’s truly a story of hope and finding joy, even when it feels hopeless. I truly loved watching these characters in this book, living and loving every chance they could. 

I really enjoyed their growth together and separately. They both deserve so many good things, and I adore them. I can’t wait to read Sonora’s next book!
