Based on 25 kid reviews

Kids say the book is a polarizing read; while many praise it for its representation of a queer relationship and its exploration of complex themes such as mental health, others criticize it for being less engaging compared to previous works. The emotional depth and character development of Nico and Will resonate strongly with fans, although some readers find it corny or lacking action, suggesting it may not appeal to everyone.
