I'll preface this review by saying I haven't read the connected books from the author, so this was my first tim3.5 this one sent me some mixed signals
I'll preface this review by saying I haven't read the connected books from the author, so this was my first time meeting Dean - so I didn't have any previous expectations of his character. That said, I quickly grew to like him and would sign up to slap anyone who says an ill word about him.
Jonas was an interesting one, in that he's not entirely likeable, but i believethat's the beauty of this match up. His daughter Ruby did a lot for this book, and this might've been a very different review if she had been a bigger part of the story.
One thing i should've accounted for given this series is titled "The Model Agency" is the huge amount of disordered eating as well as several mentions of sexual assault (including towards minors) band one on page occurance of it- none of this was mentioned in the content warning, which I find unacceptable in this day an age....more

Maybe afHappy to be back in the Soulbound world - and even happier to say that this book was much easier to digest when it came to the world building! Maybe after reading all of Soulbound I just finally got it down, but this book just picked up it's own plot right away and kept you following along.
Spencer is a fantastic lead and POV character, and from his first appearance all I've ever wanted is more Takoma. These two carry their own story beautifully, and I can't get enough of them together....more

I teared up more times than I can count on my reread, so many little things would make me just so emotional - and then there was just some all out sobbing and foaming at the mouth at the big ones. i.e. dO wE hAvE A dEaL???????
This story is so grand, it can't be contained. It can't be taken in in just one way through. I can't imagine how many times I'm actually going to read this book before I actually get to read TSA10....more

I truly felt like I went on holiday with Wren in this book. For a few hours I was in Majorca and Venice with him, and I'd like to personally thank the author for that.
Wren was so lovable and easy to root for, and all I want is for him to have good things. He brought so much light to Mateo from their first interaction and it was beautiful to watch them go from strangers to friends to lovers and so much more....more
