No Perfect Places was, for lack of a better word, perfect.
Imperfectly perfect. The characters were messy in the best way.
Steven has this way of creating flawed characters, that you can’t help but love deeply, as if they were your own best friends. I found myself needing to keep reading to make sure Alex and Olly were going to be okay.

It takes some real magic and passion to write something that shines through so strongly that the author was meant to write that book. I felt that with this one from the first page, all the way to the end.

Lots of content warnings, some that stick out to me are death of a parent, drug and alcohol abuse, grief, abusive relationship, & incarceration.
