I loved how the story unfolds, moving deftly between the past and the present. “Beastie” is a girl living in the edges of society- homeless with her aunt. Then she spots four boys being help against their will. Her alert saves them, but leads to her removal in to a group home and the foster care system. The boys are grateful for their rescue, but life in the system isn’t easy either. They look out for each other, sometimes together, sometimes at a distance. Now as adults, they have to save each other again. The love and bond between the five will be tested, but proves unbreakable.

The narration is pitch perfect. I cannot wait to dive in to what will happen in the next book. I really enjoyed this listen.
