Oh my gosh. If I could give this book a higher rating I so would. I already know it's going to live rent free in my head forever. 

I loved that we were given Sofiya, a badass main character who happens to have EDS and a not great home life. I felt like the author did really well highlighting how EDS or any chronic illness can impact one's life and relationships, but it was by far not what defined Sofiya. I especially appreciated the wheelchair scene with Mateo and Angelo (even though Mateo was kind of a butthead about it). I have heard that is an issue that those who use mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, have to deal with a lot and I'm glad it was included in this book. 

I love, love, loved the progression of Sofiya and Mateo's relationship, and I enjoyed how involved the side characters were as well. I thought all the main and side characters were fleshed out really well, and I appreciated that Sofiya and Mateo were not the only ones we ever saw interacting. I feel like sometimes Mafia books only focus on the two MCs forgetting that the characters likely have friends and others in their lives who influence them. 

100/5 stars, I am so happy I heard about this book. I am looking forward to the rest of this series. I will also be checking out the author's other works under her penname, Emilia Emerson.
