Oh man, this was a bit of a heartbreaker due to the loss of a child’s mother from an unexpected car accident & internal issues. But, there was plenty of reasons for laughter too! This group of people are what so many of us readers wish our lives had irl. Not just a band of brothers but family even before the first book. Parker is one grown up 10 year old & despite the loss of his mother, knew despite scares of foster care that Jackson was his last person. The authors definitely did a fantastic job of showing the resilience kids have no matter the age & while we don’t get too much from any of the therapist visits, I was very happy to see that here. Simon & Jackson, best friends with a 15 year age gap. Love definitely is not a number & death can find us at any age. Now I have to go back to book 2 & read it, didn’t feel up to a prolonged animosity from Aiden Hayes’ POV but obviously a lot takes place in it so 😂 listened via Hoopla Anythink.
