Thanks Netgalley, for the book to review!
I really, really wanted to love this book. A jock, bi-awakening and some angst thrown in? Normally right up my alley. In this case though... Not so much. While there were many great lines of dialogue, there were also so many times I just wanted JJ to get.out.of.his.head. The angst and chronic over analyzing of every single action, thought, emotion just go to to be... too much. WAY too much at times.
The upside? I appreciated the inclusion of a demi-sexual character! I read a LOT of m/m and f/f romance, and have seen this sexuality represented in only a handful of books. Cheers to the author for giving the readers an array of sexualities, instead of the typical "straight to gay" trope.
Overall, I would recommend this if someone is looking for a book with character diversity, coming out, and bi-awakening.
