Waves

by Julie Anne Addicott, Ashley Lane

Beckett
We are tethered by something more than friendship.
When I drift, he comes for me.
I can’t imagine life without him.
If I am the wave, he is the shore.
How do I let him go?

Hudson
We weathered the darkest storm together.
He says I’m his anchor.
He is my strength, and my weakness.
How am I supposed to leave him behind?

[Kim BookJunkie ~ Editor & Proofreader · Rating 3 out of 5]

So much potential, but everything is condensed and rushed, then worst of all, it ends with a HUGE cliffhanger!!!!

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This short read features two teenage boys who are best friends. When an accident draws them closer than before they have to navigate their feelings as well as the aftermath of the accident.

Moving through a few years of time I found this to be an enjoyable read. It features a MM romance and does contain steamy moments too.

I will say that the last chapter ends on a cliffhanger to tie it into a series, but as that is modern day the rest of the story which features the characters in their younger years, feels standalone and rounded up as it is.
