What are Goodreads reviewers saying?
Five stars, no question. From page one, I was in… Let’s just say I need the second book like… yesterday! - Sarah
​
The MMC is a lot of fun to read. He is a little feral, snarky, and has all the confidence which gets him into trouble. He has a playful personality that is impossible not to love… The feels that really made this read unputdownable came from the protective MMC 🥺 and the closeness of the found family. -BookishVibesClub

This book had me in a chokehold; I nearly read it in one sitting. The characters were well-developed and caused feelings, one way or the other. I love how each character had a distinct voice and how that got further developed with chapters from their POV. I'm ready to get my hands on the next book to continue the story! -Amber
