Kevin F. ★★★★★

I wasn’t sure how the alternating POVs would work, but Anthony and Leah’s voices feel so real and distinct that it actually made the bullying storyline hit harder. The way the book handles that tough topic without feeling preachy really impressed me. Already pre-ordered the next one.

Aurora ★★★★☆

I was glad the book tackled bullying without feeling preachy, and the alternating POVs kept the story moving quickly. The only reason it's 4 stars is that Anthony's chapters felt a bit rushed compared to Leah's. Still a solid read for anyone following the series.

Madison M. ★★★★☆

The dual perspective really helps you understand both sides of the bullying situation, which felt authentic. My only small wish is that the ending wrapped up a bit more quickly.
