Thank you to Berkley publishing for the eARC of this book!

This book felt like a warm hug and a bowl of soup, it was just so cozy and lovely 🥹 every single character played such a beautiful role in this lil found family, and I loved each of them so much! Neurodivergence was a huge theme in this book, with most characters experiencing it in some way. The author portrayed the struggles that neurodivergence can cause for many people in a very real way, but then also showed us what true acceptance and love looks like. I found myself in tears at so many points throughout this book simply because I was so moved by the way certain interactions were written! 

There were also major themes of breaking cycles of generational trauma, and I felt this was handled so well. Watching Sera and Luke work through their individual traumas together was so beautiful, and I loved the way they mirrored one another, and saw each other for who they truly are. I will be recommending this book to anyone who will listen, I loved it so, so much!
