It's fantastic as usual when reading anything from Emily. This was no different, but please do check trigger warnings as with most of her books, there are some heavy topics. This is a pretty quick read, so don't be surprised if you are drawn in and finish it in one sitting!
Cyrus and Gracie are up there in the top favorite characters for me. Gracie grew up in a very toxic house and finally had enough. What she didn't expect was literally running into Cyrus, who would be the one to not only save her but make her love herself.
