I expected more from this book. I was really looking forward to diving into the minds of Nico and Will, and I think we got a good amount of Nico’s inner life, but Will still feels very two-dimensional. He’s a sunshiney healer! With a boyfriend! Aaaaand that’s about it. His conflict is about having a boyfriend with whom he doesn’t have a lot in common . To me that reads very “…then break up” instead of the desired outcome: learn to love someone even when you don’t understand them. In conclusion, flesh Will out properly or let Nico do better (because from where I’m sitting, he can).
