Edit: upping my rating bc I am SO FOND of them, even a month later I'm still thinking about them.
The romance is excellent! These are the two that still make me a little bit emotional when later books mention they're together. The others are great (and Emery makes me smile just by himself) but these are the two that. Yeah you're staying together for the rest of your lives. Of course you are.
Theres a chronic illness story line and as far as I can tell it's handled very well! Not an ov review but I would even say it was my favourite part of the book. Without wanting to give too much away, it seems like a lot of respect and research went into that part. I specifically love disability/chronic illness rep where the author has put solid thought into how much specific characters would know about the disability or illness in question and this author clearly has!
Unfortunately (very mild spoiler)proposals in this series peaked with Emery and Scout and everyone else is increasingly cringe about it. Please why not just have a nice *private* conversation with your significant other. you can just ask! I don't care about all this over the top nonsense and I don't think Elias would either.
