I had a lot of issues with this book, mainly in the beginning, but they were mostly subjective. I just didn't like the way some things were desc3.5/5.
I had a lot of issues with this book, mainly in the beginning, but they were mostly subjective. I just didn't like the way some things were described/explained, but that's just being really nit-picky.
I did enjoy the romance between Keaton and Luke, and Keaton coming to terms with his sexuality, although it was a little conveniently easy? Again, subjective. I know, speaking from my own personal experience, it takes a lot more than "okay, so now I'm attracted to the opposite sex, it seems".
I related to Luke a good bit, especially with the family issues he was dealing with, and his inability to so easily trust Keaton and his motives or feelings towards him.
I feel like both Luke and Keaton had a lot of potential for growth, and in the end, Keaton grew a lot more than Luke, standing up to his dad etc. I still feel Luke did have some growth, mainly in relation to his brother and his mother, but I feel like his own personal growth, especially with coming to terms with his feelings for Keaton, could have been explored more.
Overall, I'm not mad I read it. It was a cute, but also spicy, quick M/M romance, and I'd considering reading more from this author duo....more
