If after reading the blurb you catching yourself saying, "I think I've read this before." I'm here to tell you, yes, you have.

Nothing new here, but a mindless, enjoyable hour read to get you out of your head.

Aw this is very sweet and cute story. It’s been a while I didn’t enjoy a book this much. Both MCs are adorable and so lovable, Cooper’s parents were awesome. There wasn’t a lot of sex but enough to enjoy the story and it was hot.
I found a second favorite couple :D

I like a good coming out story and this one would be more a dragged out story. Not an original concept but well told. You do have to read the blurb of the book first because the story begins with the incident that leads to the break up. We then follow Thomas and Cooper to their eventual HEA.
