Clayborn gives her characters really strong emotional stakes, which makes the payoff much more satisfying. This was no exception, as it deals with some very heavy themes but the characters are relatable and lovable - I really enjoy the community she's built in this series.

The emotional engine for much of the plot is an off-page death of a loved one from substance abuse/addiction and the resulting grief and trauma.
