He knew better than to touch a live wire with his fingertips. - Fragile remedy
5/5 STARS Whoa boy. Where do I even BEGIN? First of all, I received a copy of this book via Netgalley (thank you!) and this review is very very honest. I swear, the tear tracks are still fresh on my face. From the first moment I read the synopsis of this book I knew I’d love it. Everything about it screamed “oh my god Lauren this is it!” and when I read the first chapter I sank into it so quickly and easily and all I wanted was to know more about the backstory of the world. Speaking of which, the world building is a marvel, I could almost smell the streets described within, and the characters were so alive and rich. I don’t want to spoil anything about this, because it’s a book that is worth finding your way through page at a time not knowing what will happen next; my heart was in my throat several times, for several different reasons, and it’s the first book I’ve cried physical tears over in a while. It hit the found family trope with perfect precision, which is the definition of my weakness, with a slow build background m/m love story and friendships that are sometimes sharp and painful, and in some cases quite unique. The connection between Nate and Alden was one of my absolute favourite parts of Fragile Remedy, and it was one of the best, most interesting takes on a friendship I’ve read in recent memory. I really hope there is a sequel planned. It doesn’t necessarily need it, as I think it does stand alone, but there are so many more answers I need, so many different aspects of the world still there to explore, and I really need to see more of the Alley Cats.
