Iโ€™m glad I read this because it gave valuable backstory for Fred. I hope he continues as a character because I definitely have a newfound respect for him.

Uncomfortable but in the best way. Touches on so many important topics like homophobia, transphobia, the foster system, and more set against the backdrop of the Satanic Panic of the 90s.

I could feel the heart of this book and I really loved that. The execution was hit or miss for me and the sex scenes were a big no. Iโ€™m excited to see what else this author comes out with.

I must start listening when Libby wants to deliver my holds, she knows what I need. Wild stuff in this one, a perfect counterpoint to the fluffy romances Iโ€™ve been reading.
