if jj writes it, i will read it. and i was SO excited to get the arc of this book. i flew through the rest of the series (both of them) and im so happy i didn’t have to wait long for this one. 
max and luke’s story was much different than the other books in this series. i would recommend fully reading the TW/CW before picking this one up. 

this book is so special, because it shows the best case scenario for this terrible situation. the person responsible is punished. but it also shows the realize of SA and how it impacts every aspect of your life. luke was the right person at the right time for max, and im so glad they had eachother to lean on.

i love these characters and this world. 
 
adding why i took points off:

points off for the use of the word “nervy” and also the underdevelopment of margot as a character. the focus was on max and luke, but margot felt like she was included often enough that she should’ve been more developed. adding in the friendship with luke’s roommates felt inconsistent.
