// "Love was inescapable, indefinable, and sometimes ill-advised. It took you by the throat and shook you until your brain rattled, yet just as gently, cradled you in its loving arms."

~ Adore this!!

// REALLY liking this moment between Tyler and Marcus :-)!! They're definitely redeeming themselves in my opinion :-)!!

I'll be posting this moment in my review page when I'm done :-)!!

// Why is everyone getting involved in their business; are they too oblivious [read: stupid] to figure things out themselves?!!? I don't get why everyone assumes they can't get it together on their own. I mean holy friggin' Moses, EVERYONE and their mother is involved in this "relationship"!! I don't like thinking that if everyone ended up butting out that these two wouldn't be able to work things out on their own!!

// I get why Tyler is upset. I do. I get it. I'm sure some might see it as ungrateful, but I disagree with that notion. Tyler just wants to find himself ... he wants to contribute; that's admirable!!

// FINALLY!!! Okay, so things are definitely taking a turn for the better. Tyler and Marcus are coming into their own and I do believe both are redeeming themselves; each in their own way :-)!! I like that Tyler is holding himself accountable for being a douchebaggy ass to Marcus in the beginning; likewise with Marcus (toward Tyler)!!

// So far, I'm thinking both these idiots deserve each other :-/!! Marcus seems sweet, but the jury is still out on him, I don't know what I think yet. Tyler on the other hand, he annoys me!!

// P.S. If it seems like I am racing through updates it's because I already read this book and am just posting my updates :-)!!

// Marcus, you're acting like a skeevy douchebag. For whatever reason, Tyler is saying NO to you; respect that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Knowing Tyler wants Marcus just as badly doesn't make this any less awkward to read, because although we're privy to both POVs, everything about this feels icky!!!
What is this author doing to her MCs?!!? If this is the direction her books are heading in, I do believe I'll be tapping out!!!

// And the way Marcus is treating Tyler? If it were ANYONE else, readers would be screaming bloody murder about sexual harassment in the workplace!! VERY unprofessional!!! We accept Marcus's behaviour because we "know him" and have insiders' knowledge that he's a good, upstanding guy!! But from the sidelines?!!? I'm not surprised Tyler reacts the way he does!! This is not going well :-/!!
