I absolutely LOVE Elias and Laia. They're vibrant characters, and DIVERSE. They are morally grey, complicated, and a little messed up in the head, but ultimately their character arcs are so SO satisfying to witness (even if by the end of this first book, they're not entirely completely new people). And the side character made me cry and scream so the whole line-up is so strong.
The multiple POVs are probably the biggest reasons why this book is irresistible each of the chapters changes from Laia to Elias and back and it almost always ends on a cliffhanger. Each of the plots interwoven and are is completely compelling.

I loved the characters and am a sucker for the brother's best friend trope.
The romance was well done and how the characters came together felt natural, I like Ava and Alex as MCs.
The grovelling was quite good to wish we saw more of it instead of being told about it.
No OW drama. (thankfully)
