THE BAD: I don't like that Elsie Silver writes her male characters to be domineering. It gives me the ick. Also, this series is set in Canada and I wish more of the setting was incorporated into the story. I feel like the settings in books are a lot more descriptive when they're set in the U.S. And the way Sloane's dad spoke to her in the last few chapters was cringey and condescending and, again, gave me the ick.
Moderate: Death of parent, Suicidal thoughts, Abandonment, Drug abuse, and Death

I wasn’t as in love with the leads in this book. I think that’s mostly bc childhood friends to lovers isn’t usually my jam, but I still had a good time reading :)
I’m excited to read Winter’s book when that comes out later this year!!
