Quand je vous dis j’ai sauté sur le livre, j’ai sauté sur le livre des sa sortie hier.
La saga m’a marquee au fer rouge (petite ref glauque) et j’avais entendu dire qu’une suite devait arriver sur Jean.
J n’avais aucun souvenir de Jean, un tout petit souvenir de Jeremy (j’ai lu il y a longtemps), j’ai du retourner sur les sites de fandom (très complets omg) pour trouver toutes les infos.

Je reste sur ma FAIM. J’aurais voulu 200 pages de plus au moins, et la je ne sais pas ce que je vais faire sans le prochain.
Je savais déjà qu’on allait avoir du trauma à foison, et un slow burn slow de chez slow, puisque c’est la marque de fabrique de très chère Nora.

J’ai beaucoup aimé en apprendre plus sur ces FRAPPADINGUES de Ravens, j’ai hate de connaître plus Jeremy, on a eu que des entrevues, et on ne comprend toujours pas ce qui lui est arrivé à lui. 

Pauvre Jean vraiment on est sur du high level de trauma la aussi, et je me demande ce qu’elle va nous pondre pour Jeremy.\
Et Jeremy…… tellement mignon, tellement doux, ils sont parfaits, j’ai vraiment hate de les voir s’aimer. Ca m’a donné envie de tout relire.

Bref pour moi c’était pas assez, je veux plus plus plus plus

Note ; 17/20

Holy fuck. For all that it has a bright sunshiny name, this book was absolutely brutal and devastating. With each passing chapter and every horrific little revelation about the abuse that Jean suffered I wanted to scream and cry and rage on his behalf. I loved that Jean was able to find little bright spots of happiness in the smallest things like cooking with Cat, (begrudgingly) shopping with Laila, and having Jeremy as his partner. I also loved that they gave Jean the space he needed, respected privacy (for the most part), and accepted his boundaries (only pushing them when they absolutely had to).

There is so much to unpack with this book and I don’t think I caught everything that was happening in this read. So a reread is definitely needed before the next book comes out. But my god. This was probably one of the most emotionally devastating books I think I’ve ever read. It’s getting a solid five stars and I don’t know what I’m gonna do with myself until the next book comes out.

nora sakavic is both my enemy and someone i admired beyond belief. let me wipe my tears. a truly amazing story, with everything i loved about the foxes and more. i can barely put into words how much this book means to me, if i could give more than 5 stars i would. that rating seems insufficient when i reflect on the masterpiece i just read. 

jean yves-moreau holds a very special place in my heart, one that now houses my beloved foxes and the trojans. if he doesn't get every single thing he deserves, i will be rioting. the glimpses of the foxes were like crack and i need more of them. the descriptions of andrew and neil made my little heart sing and neil in the final chapter??? he knows he is THAT bitch and seeing him from an outside pov is exhilarating and i crave more. 

sakavic writes found family masterfully and creates incredibly complex characters that i have rarely come across. cat and laila are just amazing, refreshing characters and the need i have for them to hang out with dan, allison, matt and renee is unreal. jeremy is such an exciting character to read, he's got so much depth that is slowly being explored and his story is one i can't wait to read.

i am hoping for more books with the trojans, especially about jeremy and his relationship with his family. also more exy games, i adored the game scenes with the foxes and would love to see the behind the scenes of trojans playing against other teams. an utter masterpiece that i will never forget, right there with the foxes. 🦊🦊🦊

(lucas and graysen?? it's on SIGHT. i truly don't give a shit is lucas apologised, i will put him down.)
