Jarett tapped his finger at my sheet. “You’re supposed to write down something you want to know how to do.”
“Oh. Hmm.” I squinted at the paper. “I always kinda wanted to learn pole dancing.”
Judging by Angie’s exasperated sigh, that was not the kind of answer she’d had in mind.

Lysander is so awesome.

I was temporarily out of words. Instead I turned to Finn and threw myself half on top of him as I grabbed him in a tight hug. I worried he might fight me on it, but he held me just as tightly and relaxed against me, as though I was someone who made him feel safe.

❤

”Um.” Finn swayed a little. “Dr. Brookhard asked me some interesting questions.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.” He looked at me, biting his lip. “You want to tell me about your cocaine addiction?”
I groaned, throwing my head back. “I don’t have a cocaine addiction.”
“Oh. Well. Um.” Finn cleared his throat. “You kinda do now.

I love Lysander and his cousin.

Finished..

Wow, just wow.

Oh God.

“You’re supposed to write down something you want to know how to do.”
“Oh. Hmm.” I squinted at the paper. “I always kinda wanted to learn pole dancing.”
Judging by Angie’s exasperated sigh, that was not the kind of answer she’d had in mind.

“You are really fucking good at that.”
“Thanks,” I echoed. “We should do it again sometime.”
The corner of his mouth twitched. He seemed to think about it for a moment and then asked, “Including the fighting?”
“If that’s what gets you hot.”

I adore Lysander.

He moaned loudly when I found hard, hot skin and wrapped my fingers around it. I needed so badly, and it got even worse when I found metal in a place I hadn’t expected any.

*faints*

The writing is REALLY good in this one.
So many layers… Lysander and his destructive behavior, his new friendship with his cousin, the hilarious stuff happening because of the identity switch, the HOT times with Cai.

I just want to read and hope it won’t take a wrong turn somewhere.
Heavy subject, amazing execution. Not overly angsty at all.

Switching identities with his cousin.

“I am now Lysander Shepherd, party animal and—” He abruptly turned to me. “Wait, do I have to be gay ? Do people know you’re gay?”
“I should think not. But, honey, with the way my jeans look on you, there might not be much doubt.”
“Um.” He squinted. “I am now Lysander Shepherd, metrosexual.”
“Good luck with that.”

So far this book is actually pretty funny.
