Fluidity
After being kicked out of the Chicago condo where he and his boyfriend have lived together for over three years, Scott Parsons is forced to move back to the suburbs with his widowed mother because he's too broke to pay for a place of his own. Angry and humiliated over being dumped and kicked out, Scott tries to make the best of a bad situation by vowing to save enough money from his low-paying job so he can leave his mother's house and get a place of his own.
His mother welcomes Scott back with open arms, but reveals she was secretly married her boyfriend during a trip to Las Vegas a month prior. Scott is surprised by his mother's news and even more surprised when he meets his handsome new stepbrother, Alex.
Alex, a Stanford grad, has been living and working in LA, but returns to Chicago to pursue an MBA at the University of Chicago while working for a high-powered accounting firm. Scott and Alex initially butt heads, but soon discover there's more to like than dislike about each other.
The first time Alex makes a pass at Scott, he ignores it. But when Alex makes a second attempt, Scott decides to take his stepbrother up on his offer and the two start a relationship. Even though Scott knows getting intimately involved with Alex is a bad idea, he also knows that sometimes a bad idea is just too good to ignore.

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.5 stars
I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this review. I want to be fair to the book, but I also want to express how I feel about the story and the characters. So, **taking a deep breath** here I go. I hope I can do what I’m setting out to do.
I was intrigued by the blurb for Fluidity. It led me to believe I’d be reading a (possibly) hot stepbrother story. I effing LOVE hot stepbrother stories. Well…some parts of it were hot, but it was obvious it wasn’t what I had in mind.
Let me start with the main characters, Scott and Alex. Honestly, I didn’t connect with either of them. In fact, I didn’t really care for them much. Scott had zero ambition and he couldn’t understand why his boyfriend was kicking him out. He didn’t try to advance at his low paying job at a non profit, even though several opportunities presented themselves. He drove an expensive sports car rather than something less expensive, or even borrowing his mom’s or Christopher’s. His reason? He wanted a sports car. He was an overgrown child who wanted everything to be handed to him.
Alex was a brat. He asked Scott a lot of inappropriate questions and said a lot of inappropriate things. He threw himself at Scott, not taking no for an answer until he wore him down. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but Alex lied to Scott about something pretty important, and when he was caught, he continued to try and cover his ass.

The writing style was pretty decent but sometimes there was a bit too much dialogue. I liked how the plot didn't exactly go the typical way.
Overall, this is a light and sometimes funny book that is okay to pass the time if you are bored.

Little too short for my liking. The ending seemed abrupt and was a bit of a surprise to me.
