Really liked the plot and how the author portrayed Micah’s emotions. While I did love the book, Micah was not my favorite main character out of all the girls in this series.

I really enjoyed this installment, probably because I understand Micah as a person. This book hit on a lot of great themes and handled them really well. I do think that the length is a bit of a disadvantage in these stories. Like I appreciate that they are novellas but sometimes the shortness of them means things tie up too quickly and plot threads dangle. Just a few dozen pages more and this book would have been perfect.

I'm really enjoying this series. Very sweet, but doesn't shy away from some serious subjects, and all in a rather short amount of time/space. Thought this one was paced a little better than Lux's story, though I think this one is also a little bit longer so that helped. I <3 Micah and Ty. They're relationship is adorable. Excellent example of communicating with your partner!! Ty is almost wish fulfillment perfect in how respectful and sweet he is--especially with regard to them considering going further with their intimacy, but that may also just be my inner bar for teenage boy behavior being practically on the ground and maybe I should expect better/more of them.
Micah's grief/trauma is so heartfelt. Loved the interplay between her and Dr. Patel (yay, positive portrayal of therapy! Also, boo hiss Micah's dad bc omg you need to get a clue), which was also a bit of a foil for the way Micah and Noelle talk--mostly around--Micah's grief over her brother's death.
