This book is thoughtful and deep and full of so much hope and love while also being incredibly heartbreaking to read. Justyce is such a sweet young man and I really wanted to reach through the pages and hug him. There were moments when I could have stood for a little more explanation and I'm not 100% I understand what some of the romance related things were doing in this story. It isn't that I don't like SJ it is just that there's the ex who disappears with almost no explanation and then tension between the three just vanishes. I think that the romance stuff is the only reason this isn't a perfect five for me.
