I am amazed at how a book can have so many trigger warnings and still be so wholesome.
Cyrus and Crow are dealing with traumatic events that make it hard for them to open up to each other.Although Cyrus eventually comes around, it takes Crow longer to accept help and compassion from someone else. The emotional journey is intense, but I truly enjoyed every moment of it!
One particular scene that stood out to me was whenCyrus read the journal left by Crow's mother. It was an incredibly touching moment that brought tears to my eyes. I always wondered how Crow felt about Chosen in the present, especially since he still struggled with the memory of his mother's murder.
What I loved most about this book was how it advocates for mental health. The story shows the characters seeking professional help towards the end, and it is a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing mental health issues. This book was a beautiful and impactful read!
