3.0
This felt quite a bit removed from the previous book in the series, which threw off my balance; Albert's usually great at ensemble friend-group romance series, so I felt a little let down there. It also felt a smidgen to long to me. But readjusting my perspective, I appreciated the nuance and the romance, as well as the friendship beneath the romance. The characters' plot and personal growth was lovely and made for a great story.
Moderate: Bullying, Chronic illness, Homophobia, Medical content, and Car accident
Minor: Alcohol and Injury/Injury detail
Though no actual medical content is detailed, a significant portion of the book is set in a children's hospital ward, and a character discusses a car accident and the resulting injury/hospitalization in his past.
