I honestly just wish this had an extra hundred pages of character and relationship building, because that would have made this into a solid five star read. I really would have loved to spend more time with Mickey and Jaysen, and I feel like I didn’t get to see enough of them near the end. It was a perfect book, otherwise. I absolutely adored their dynamic from start to finish, and I really enjoyed Mickey as a POV character. He’s very layered, and his struggles felt realistic and not overdone. I just wish there was a little bit more! With the plot so quickly over and done with, it’s a somewhat forgettable book.
Wouldn’t necessarily recommend this to anyone who struggles with depression/dissociation and is triggered by reading about those things in fiction, as those themes were quite present.
