I really enjoyed this. It’s a story about how, in the immortal words of Tatiana from Drag Race All Stars 2, what you see, isn’t always the truth. 

Dylan and Derek are temporary neighbors and Derek hates Dylan. Due to situations beyond their control, they end up having to stay together. Slowly they each see what the other hasn’t been showing and start to develop feelings.,

This book does a great job of exploring how trauma and mental health affect people and those around them. I appreciated that it offers ways to work through it and allows audience members the possibility to see themselves. 

It does wrap up a little too neatly and quickly but there are some standout moments where you see two people be there for each other and grow to see each other.
