Im so happy they’re engaged, but I’m like terrified cause that should come later in the book, like at the end. Now we have so much book left it’s bound for something to go wrong. And Ilya still hasn’t had the conversation about his depression and I think Shane really needs to hear it.

For some it might seem sweet that Ilya is so touchy with Shane. But Ilya is severely touch starved and with his undiagnosed depression it’s just so heartbreaking to me.

Fuck. Poor Ilya. I’m only like 20 percent into the book but I’ve clocked several signs of depression. This is hard.

Ilyas dream about his mother is freaking heartbreaking. He just wants his mom to meet his boyfriend 😭
