Now introducing Josiah (yay! - from Connection Error) and Ravi (from Beta Test).

I know this book was published in 2015, and that there *are* people who vote Republican and aren't homophobic, or are even gay themselves, and I even know that these books are meant to represent all sorts of ways that gay people exist in the world, but the line “How does how I vote explain why you kept this from me for years?” bothers me. Sorry, but it IS the party that actively tries to eat my face.

“Don’t be sorry about ruining my Christmas. Be sorry about ruining your life.”

“Some...someday—” Adrian’s voice broke. “Someday you’re going to look back and you’re going to see what you could have had. And I’m not going to wait around.” He had to force himself to say that part, because truth was he would wait. But Noah was right that he deserved more.

"Maybe you've studied rocks so long you're turning into one!"

Definitely not having feelings about people wanting their siblings to meet their brand new nieces/nephews at the hospital right after they're born...

"He'd spent so many years [...] telling himself that since he wasn't desperate for sex, that he was fine alone; but what he hadn't realized, was how starved for companionship."

My fucking life.

"Adrian told his voice of reason to kindly go fuck itself."

The thing I always love about coming 'home' to Annabeth Albert is that, while it might not be the kinkiest or hottest shit, it's usually the realest, the most intimate, the most individual to each couple, and a reminder that there's something really fucking sexy about that.
