Status Updates From Life Under New Management

Omg they are toe curling cute

I like how attentive Ethan is. He pays attention to Andy’s reactions and asks for clarification. They’re so sweet together.

I like knowing what Andy is feeling and thinking during sessions.

“Whatever it is, we can deal with it, but only if we’re in the same room.”
Omg that’s beautiful. Exactly if there is problem talk it out.

“If I’m forcing your obedience, I’m not sure it’d be satisfying. I want it given to me. Offered to me, not extorted from you.”
Can Ethen get any more sexy??

I like it when author shows me the characters not tells me about them. Ethan is icy and controlled, his everyday interactions and his apartment reflect that. Andy is free spirited, disorganized with no brain to mouth filter. I like their back and forth dialogue. Share and snappy.

Not enough relationship detail. 3.75 stars *

Andy is a whiny, self absorbed slob who needs to learn some self restraint. Enter (stage left) Ethan.

3.5

The last couple of chapters were two chapters too long--I skimmed the sex scenes--so I think the basic story was engaging, but it would have been better tighter, less stretched out with repetitive sex. (The first several sexy scenes were tense, important for development, well placed and played.)

I'm loving the journey of Andy, from solipsism to empathy, from meaningless, quick, high pleasures to deeper, calmer contentment. Man, is he a piece of work. I also like how Ethan is dominant and strong, but he isn't perfect: he's too harsh sometimes and scared of the feelings and desires Andy creates in him. (I wish Henry had his own story, from his pov.)

Oh My God! with the amount of mood swings Andy has, these two will never fuck.

Wow these two have some explosive arguments.

...awkward.....

I'm getting frustrated with this ....
