Elliot Adams is 17 years old and in his last year of the most prestigious private school in England. If there’s one thing that completely annoys him, it’s that there is a poor community college right across the street.
Harry Smith is 19 years old, and (once again) in his last year of college. He goes to the community college across the street from the private school. He never shows up to classes and if he actually bothers to, he’s either high or drunk; sometimes both. His skin is littered with tattoos and if there’s one thing he absolutely hates, it’s the snobby students attending the private school right across from his.
Or a story where Harry is the fucked up bad boy with too many problems, Elliot is the perfect rich boy with too much money. They meet at a party and that’s the last (and maybe the only) thing they need.
Looking at the story isolated from all the sex scenes, I'm fine with this book. But all in all, waaaaaay too smutty. No book needs that many sex scenes... I also couldn't stand H or L in this one. Pf.
I love it. Even though it's super smutty and I don't like the characters at the beginning, it's a treasure. The characters change and you fall in love with them while they fall in love with each other. And some parts and lines just take your breath away. I fucking love it.
The story is actually nice, but there are wayyy to much sex scenes. I liked story’s like this one better when I was 6-5 years younger than now. But besides the sex it’s a nice Story, but it waisted some potential. If the story would focus more on the story telling that on sex it would be much better!!! But the last sentence is pure perfection!
“Louis' eyes were probably the closest Harry would ever get to Heaven.”
Pido disculpas públicamente porque sin duda me equivoqué con este fic. Comencé a leerlo creyendo que sería una basura y honestamente me sorprendió en todos los sentidos posibles, de una buena forma.
Lo que pensé que sería una historia llena del chico malo traumado, guiando por malos pasos y cayendo en una relación tóxica y abusiva con el chico “bueno”, terminó siendo todo lo contrario.
“Friends, hugs, love and most importantly, happiness, are free.” ❤️🩹
Es refrescante poder leer el trope de chico bueno x chico malo, sin caer en lo tóxico o abusivo. Leer una historia que te haga reír, ser cursi, tierna y dulce. Una historia con la cual genuinamente poder pasar un buen rato.
Es notable el cambio en los personajes y es increíble lo natural que se siente todo, pero aún así poder apreciar la gran evolución a lo largo de la historia. No diré que cambia la vida o que está perfectamente desarrollada, pero es genial para leer algo ligero, y como dije antes, pasar un buen rato.
Un Harry lleno de problemas y vicios pasa a ser uno queriendo vivir, superarse y salir adelante. Verlo mejorar e ir sanando fue un abrazo al corazón. Al igual que ver a Louis cambiar por completo su pensamiento y darse cuenta de lo que realmente importa. Hasta aceptarse a sí mismo y luchar por su felicidad, sin temor de mostrarse tal y como es ante el mundo, al lado de Harry. 🥹 Hay cosas que fueron tocadas más superficialmente, pero sin duda la historia y los personajes terminan por envolverte y enamorarte.
Ambos siempre fueron el completo del otro, no necesitan nada más porque juntos tienen su propio cielo…
I really like the story as a whole it felt a little more realistic but geezus I just can’t stand both Harry and Elliot at times. You meet Elliot who’s a snob and dating a girl name Samantha. Elliot thinks he’s better than everyone cause he’s rich and can’t stand the average person. While I don’t condone cheating literally Elliot cheated throughout the whole book I mean I can understand he’s scared but still ugh. You also meet Harry who is an average guy who brings out a new side of Elliot. I honestly didn’t like him much he literally made it a goal to sleep with Elliot. Even though he knew him and Elliot had a thing going on he doesn’t seem to have a problem sleeping with other people. What irritated me most about Harry is that even though him and Elliot got into a fight in which he never had closure of he knew they would get back together he still went out and cheated then told Elliot afterwards that it wasn’t cheating. In real life if Elliot and Harry had gotten into another fight then feeling low Harry probably go and cheat on him again. As bad as I feel for Harry and his upbringing he’s the definition of relationship toxic. He cheats, addicted to drugs, and has really done nothing to make up for all the times he’s wronged Elliott. Book was a tiny bit dark if u can get over suicide, cheating, and self harm. At least the ending made sense.
I read this fic in two big chunks with quite a bit of time in between, so my memory is a bit messy, but overall, it was pretty cute. I really liked Louis’ and Harry’s dynamic—the way they acted around each other and how their relationship developed. Louis’ character growth was also pretty nice.
The writing style didn’t really click with me though. The more I read, the less I noticed it, but in the beginning, it felt strange and really stood out to me. I know it’s a fanfic and it doesn’t need to be the most lyrical thing I’ve ever read, but the first half of the book contained several moments where things just felt unclear, leaving me confused about what was happening or which character was actually speaking. There was also quite a bit of smut, which I didn’t really mind since it fit the storyline, but at times it felt a bit excessive. But then again, it’s a fanfic—what else would you expect? ;))
Overall, I quite liked this one (especially the fluff), but there were quite a few moments where all I could think was just “huh??”
Es el tipico cliché donde el chico malo se enamora del chico bueno solo que en gay. Pero bueno si me gusto, los personajes tuvieron evolución. Además pude identificarme con el personaje de Louis ya que en ese tiempo cuando me leí el fanfic, tenía muchas dudas sobre mi orientación sexual (aún las sigo teniendo) y bueno ame el último discurso de Louis cuándo salió del closet en frente de toda la escuela. El aprendió a aceptarse tal como era, descubrio que el dinero no lo es todo y tomo valor para enfrentarse a sus padres y al mundo. Y con Harry, ame que dejo de ser el chico mujeriego y por fin vio que si hay personas que lo aman.

C’était correct pour quelque chose qui a été écrit en 2014 mais ça me marquera pas plus que ça, je comprends pas que ça soit autant recommandé. Je trouve que le titre va pas avec l’histoire, y a un peu trop de smut et l’histoire est trop évidente mais c’était sympa quand même
In this book Louis is a stereotypical smart boy in school meeting a bad boy Harry with too many problems. They met, they fell in love, they had to deal with many things together. In the end, I can tell you it was not bad, but I didn’t enjoy the characters too much to be honest.
Tiene un montón de sexo y un poco de contenido que se ahoga terriblemente en tópicos que todos estamos acostumbrados a leer. No es nada del otro mundo, pero es malditamente aditivo, jajajaj lo leí en dos días si es que no menos, lo disfrute genuinamente.
