This book was fantastic! It was hilarious and sweet and spicy in all the right ways. It deals with despression and grief, parentifcation of siblings, and some heavier topics in a normalized but in a respectful way. I absolutely loved Athena and her no tolerance for bullshit attitude. She was such a fun and relatable character! I also loved Michael so much. The way he treated and cared for Athena, especially through her depression! Ugh, swoon. This is one of my top books of the year so far.
