This will probably work for the majority of the market. It has all the shit the booktok girlies love. The spice was decent, but overall it was just super tropey with lots of smut and not enough depth for the subject matter for my tastes. Lane and Noah were also kinda lacking in the chemistry department for me. The jump from hating each other to being in love felt super disjointed and kinda had me like???
Now, to my next point: There was absolutely no reason for it to be this long, and I say that as someone who read a 900-page romance recently. If you can justify the pages, fuck yeah I'll eat it up but here it just didn't feel necessary at all.
If you like spice between stepbrothers and haven't read too many of them, this will probably be a hit for you. At this point, I'm thinking that the trope is a little overdone as a whole (at least from my perspective), especially when nothing fresh is being added to it by the authors taking it on. Overall, it's a no from me.

I swear I've dnfd more this year than I have in my whole life, but here we are. Another one bites the dust.
Unfortunately, I felt absolutely ZERO chemistry between these 2. It's a huge bummer bc I've been super excited for Cam's story, but maybe he just had too big of a space to fill after Jesse and Sam. I did think maybe it was a mood thing and left it then came back, but it just hasn't kept me interested enough to keep pushing.
(This would probably have landed around 2.5 if I kept pushing though)...more

Everyone say hello to Mason 'wait you think I'm gorgeous' Wyatt and Jeremy 'I'm fine' Montgomery. Buckle up and let them fucking DESTROY you.
I HAVE NOT CRIED LIKE THIS SINCE MY SISTER DIED AND IM ALREADY PLANNING A REREAD FOR RELEASE DAY.
Ok so the number one thing you need to know about me going into this review is that I am Jeremy Montgomery's number one fan. I have been unhealthily obsessed with that boy for FAR too long now, idk if its the shared dead sister trauma/pearl jam obsession or what, BUT I FUCKING LOVE HIM HE HAS ALLLLWAYS BEEN MY FAV IN THIS UNIVERSE AND HE STILL FUCKING IS. In saying that, I have always been a STAUNCH Mason Wyatt defender and my baby did not fucking let me down here. There are few characters out there who feel as genuinely real and human as these 2.
The first instalment in this duet definitely reads more like a coming of age story than a romance, you get to grow up with them and understand them in a way alot of romances don't allow you to. It's definitely giving "it was always you" vibes and you really do have this feeling of inevitability when you're reading their story. Like they really are 2 stars that were always destined to collide and it was just a matter of when. These 2 are so obsessed with eachother. They're eachothers safe space. They constantly want to be in eachothers orbit even when it destroys them and ya gal is DOWN FUCKING BAD. Seeing them as kids was so fucking beautiful and it just made me wanna drown myself in my tears (affectionate).
This book broke my fucking heart and after 2 years of waiting for it I wouldn't want it any other way. The grief exploration and addiction rep is one of the most special things about this series to me in general but with these two it just hits so much harder. As someone who has lost siblings, Jessie just nailed every aspect of that feeling through Jer and his families eyes. Which brings me to my fav lost boys. Jeremy goes from a chronically anxious terrified little boy to a man able to stand on his own two feet even when it kills him. His journey is definitely one of my favourites of all time, he means even more to me than I thought possible. The way he just keeps growing into himself more and more makes me wanna die. Jer is now on par with Sky for my fav Jessie character ever and if you know me you know HOW FUCKING MUCH I LOVE SKY. As for Mase, even when he's his most broken he loves big and he loves fucking hard and I have to appreciate him for it even when he's a big dumb dumb (members of the trying to do the right thing and fucking it up club unite ✊️). He might be an addict who hurts the people around him when he's off the deep end but if you've ever loved an addict you know how realistic that is. A sober Mase though? Has my whole fucking heart, as I said that boy loves fucking HARDDDDD and he might just love Jeremy the most in his world. This boy is so damn growly and protective and I hate to be that bitch but it turns out I swoon for a damn saviour complex, SUE ME.
I realise this isnt really a review and more me waxing poetic but WHATEVER. They go through it, they grow, they change, they learn and I'm so frigging proud of both of them ...more
