5.0

Oh Sera Milano it looks like you only write five star reads IMO! I loved This Could Never Not Be Real, so I was so excited to read this one too!

Sera Milano knows just how to get you so emotionally involved in her books. And the way it’s written, with letters, and multiple POV through filming a podcast, made it so easy to read, never wanting to put it down, just one more bit…

The story is about Luka, a teenage girl, who’s still grieving the recent death of her mother, she’s struggling, then she meets Cosmo. As Cosmo enters her life, her brother and friends slowly start to be pushed out of it. 

This book is a must read for all teenagers, and of course, every age after too! It covers coercive relationships, grief, toxicity in relationships, friendships, realities of being high school, and it also has great representation, I really loved Alec and Theo.

This book had me hooked, and I genuinely didn’t know what was going to happen until it happened right at the end. It has such important messages in it, but it’s not a preachy book. It’s honestly just such an important read that is easily five stars!
