Man. I recommended this to a friend and ever since I’ve been hankering for a re-read! It’s a nice comfort read, even though I know exactly what’s going to happen & when I still find myself with goosebumps. Avi is still my favourite fella.

Step Uncle & Step Nephew.
Give me more of these questionable relationships, pleaaaaaaaaaase.

Janel is a piece of work. I didn’t like her from the beginning but the fact that she KNEW her brother was in love with Mik, knew that’s why she & him broke up. Yet still insisted on playing happy family & then wondered why everything fell apart when Jason came back? I don’t feel sorry for this broad.

Oh the emotions! From BFFS, to lovers, to brother in laws who hate each other but are really still in love with each other.
I also really love that this is a story about men by own age - mid to late 30’s.

Potential Spoiler:

So to recap: best friends fall in love. Best friend 1 got best friend 2’s sister pregnant and decides to do the “right thing. Best friend 2 boots it to Europe and they don’t see each other again for 18 years. To say the tension is tensioning is an understatement. This is so delicious. Best friend 1 has a penis piercing I’ve never even heard of before 🥵 Just a small tasty detail.

This is gonna be emotional, I can feel it already.

Fuck, I love it when the 2 MMCs hurt 🥹

Potential spoiler:

Twin brothers. Brother 1 has a best friend. Brother 2 is gay & in love with brother 1’s best friend and brother 1 doesn’t know.
They all attend the same Uni. Brother 2 joins a hook-up app and talks to “Johnny” in an attempt to get over brother 1’s best friend. Twist: brother 1’s best friend IS “Johnny” BUT brother 2 doesn’t know….🫣 👀
Things are getting spicy!

“My favourite movie of all time is The Rocky Horror Picture Show “.

I’m in love.

I’m not usually one for a Daddy kink but this is working.

Ohhh the boys add developing hardcore feelings! Duh, we saw that coming but I’m such a sucker for this.

33 pages in and we’re already spicy.
Also, friends with benefits never works don’t do it. But they’re gonna do it and I’m a sucker to see how this plays out.

“I love you, Brendon, until my heart stops beating.”
“Then I’ll make sure it never does.”

I’m such a sap and here for all of it. If I was taking shots for the amount of “I love yous” in this book I’d be so trashed.
It’s way past my bedtime but I’ve got like 40 pages left so I’m gonna try to hammer this out.

“You’re mine. No one touches you but me. Understand?”

These are the moments I live for.

These 2 are just so hot 🥵 I love the anger. The vulnerability. The hate.

Does anyone else skip a head a few pages when reading? You know, just to MAKE SURE it ends in an HEA? ‘Cause things are starting to get tense and I don’t like Preston’s dad so I had to check.

Yoooooooooo the tensioooooooon 🥵🥵🥵

I am driven to the hockey romances and I don’t know why because no matter how much I read I don’t remember a damn thing about the game.

The game is not important here Stef, let’s be real.

I’m not naive. I’m pretty well 3/4 of the way done and there hasn’t been an incident. It’s coming. It always does. I’m just afraid because these 2 are just too cute 🥰

Remi’s gonna do something stupid I can feel it.

Mama Mia, CLEARLY the fake boyfriend thing is gonna backfire. Remington better not hurt Holden. Please don’t make me cry (but make me cry, I kind of live for it).

I know I’m a huge sucker for enemies to lover’s, but there’s something to be said about the friends to lover’s trope as well 🤭

The disdain these 2 feel for each other is so delicious 🤤

If this book doesn’t leave you ugly sobbing, you have no soul.

This is gonna wreck me I can feel it.

Oh my goodness, the em-o-tion!
The burn here is slow, guys.
I don’t know what it is about the step-brother trope / enemies to lovers that just lights me right the fuck up.

Fuck me, I love some good heartbreak 💔
Ohhhh it’s gonna be good when these boys get back together, I can feel it 😭

Loving this, loving this…..

THE SURPRISES COMING OUT I CAN’T.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS TWIST?!
