@hoIIanovs I agree,in TLG we see Ilyas struggle with depression n the feeling that he is not good enough for shane,for the team,that he's a failure.
Ilya doesnt talk abt his feelings to Shane so we cannot blame him.
Ilyas state of mind is valid so is Shane's love for him..Ilya knows it.
@tannertan36 Good luck and buckle up for an emotional ride you are about to get into...its an amazing read.
Hope you will give us an in depth review on it too.
@RhodeToLove Me too several times no matter how many times I re-read the book...Ilya makes me woeful everytime. He is my baby,I feel so protective about him. Love Hollanov..can't wait for the second season
