This one was so sweet!! Love beau and bailey together, and seeing the way they showed their feelings with actions was really adorable. I do think leaning a little bit more into their background (beau’s MIA story and bailey’s childhood) would’ve added dimension, and incorporating that into the conflict probably would’ve been beneficial to the story, but I do get that it’s not the kind of book that you can expect to delve into that brand of demons and the shallower representation was probably more appropriate for what the book was. Automatic deductions for a ridiculous amount of typos/errors and the bits of cringe factor (e.g., “military precision” during that one scene…)
