I knew from the content warnings this would be a hard read in some ways. But there were also tears and emotions I was not expecting to feel from this book.

Despite all of Wyatt's flaws, there is almost never a moment I was not on his side. All decisions he made that from the outside were bad, could be understood based on how he'd been treated in the past and how he continued to be treated by others. This is not to say that Wyatt doesn't have responsibility for his actions, but the reasoning behind them makes sense. And really, when someone is so violently backed into a corner, it shouldn't be a surprise if they lash out.

Watching the evolution of Wyatt as an individual and his relationship with those around him really pulled at my heart so often. I cannot wait to start the next book in this duology.
