While this may not be my favorite book from Nik Knight, this is still Nik Knight, so I absolutely loved it. This story starts off HEAVY, which was a tad jarring, if I'm honest. That said, everything that follows was great. Silas and Ben are seniors in high school on the cusp of adulthood. Despite being young, they both have plenty of baggage to sift through. Their characters are complex and interesting, and the story is very well written and engaging. Watching these characters start to grow, heal, and learn was such a lovely journey to experience with them, and Nik Knight did it so well. All in all, I really enjoyed this diversion from Nik Knight's usual fair, but they just know how to write a great story. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.
