It’s been about 3 years since I last read this book, I forgot how much I loved it!

First read: October 2017. 4 stars
I absolutely ADORED THIS AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY

REPRESENTATION OF PARENTS THAT TECHNICALLY ARENT ABUSIVE BUT ARE STILL REALLY SHITTY

REPRESENTATION OF A GOOD ASS FATHER FIGURE WHO GENUINELY CARES FOR THE PERSON IN HIS CARE

REPRESENTATION OF PLUS SIZED WOMEN WHERE HER SIZE IS COMPLETELY A NON ISSUE

A FANTASTIC DISCUSSION OF GENDER ROLES AND BEING GIVEN THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHO YOU WANT TO BE

A REALLY COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO SISTERS WHO WANT TO LOVE EACH OTHER BUT WERE NEVER TAUGHT HOW

AND THE BEST PART

NORMALIZED. HOMOSEXUAL. CHARACTERS. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

I’m honestly so happy with this book, and this series as a whole. It’s so wonderful ahhh everyone read it!! Giving it 4 stars because, and I think I said this with the first book, it would have been so much better if it were longer. I would love to really dig into this world an the relationships, especially with Dr. Bleak. Tbh he’s probably my favourite character but he barely got any screen time :( other than that, 10/10 would recommend
