4.5/5. This was exactly what I needed. The hurt/comfort was real! I love Wyatt so much. He must be protected at all costs. And Linc? Amazing. They go so well together with Linc's stoic demeanor balancing Wyatt's chaos. Wyatt's story of abuse, mental health struggles, and being forced in the closet were compelling and interesting. Linc's protectiveness over Wyatt was perfect. It was fun to watch them unable to deny each other then fall in love. Oh and Charlie? I would DIE for her. She's amazing. She's perfect. She MADE the book (which was already amazing). 4/5 spice levels.
