My favorite of the Ravenswood series. I can't wait to read this again. I really appreciate the demisexual rep here. I want more!

This was good, not my favorite ravenswood book at all but good.

Third act breakup scene was atrocious. Litterally so obvious that Rae wrote that book I mean come on.

But the epilogue was very cute.

2.75

 So, I read this because it had demi-sexual MC rep.

I really struggled with a rating for this book because it was a well-written exploration of intimacy and attraction between an allosexual woman and a demi-sexual man, but it felt like that was all it was. The little plot there was outside their relationship was short, simple, and easily predictable - which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I felt like it had the potential to be something more complex, detailed, and in-depth.

For me this was a 2.5/2.75.

Also has internalized aphobia and explicit discussions of past trauma (the emotional abuse, abandonment, sexual activity when Zach is ace and not enjoying it but before he comes to terms with being demisexual, etc)
