With gorgeous prose, found poetry and a tender (beautifully moving) exploration of love, grief, identity,  friendship and healing— I loved every second of this one and genuinely didn’t want to put this down! 

The depiction of first love was incredible and the slow burn build-up, as Ray and Orion get to know one another (and share their inner most thoughts and feelings with each other) felt soo nuanced and realistic. 

This was definitely on the deeper side in terms of emotions and did have me crying multiple times — but the message (of hope, healing and resilience) was absolutely worth it! 

So, if you love Contemporary YA or coming of age stories, you should definitely consider checking this one out. 

I won this copy a while back, so just want to say thanks again to United By Books
