My heart! Throughout the whole series I always had hope for Xander, and this book made everything come true. In the first part I did want to shake him at times to make him agree to find help, but I also know that’s not how it works. Anxiety and mental illness can be debilitating, and it rarely works if someone goes through the motions of getting help without wanting it themselves. His panic attacks felt so real, his struggle broke my heart, and I’m so happy that Derek was there. Their journey together was so hard, and I felt for both of them. It was so well portrayed, and I’m so damn proud of them both and how everything ended up! I’m going to miss all these boys so much!
