I wanted to start the new year with something special, and this book is just that, special.
This book was absolutely one of the best books I've ever read, with a really good unexpected twists, great main characters, and even better side characters, it was the absolute perfection
We have Max and Wes's story here, which is full of ups and downs, emotions I personally didn't expect in a sport new adult book, and seeing as the author is really talented, made it all the better
Now you might think that Max was an a-hole, take a sit, take a deep breath and relax, because he's not, and he genuinely made it to the top of my favorite characters list "which is a long list", he was that protective, possessive, jealous boyfriend AND friend, that character was so well written, and I couldn't blame him for what he did, and quit frankly, I felt sad for him, but he got what he deserved ;)
Wes, the sweetheart of the story, I loved him, he didn't give up on Max, gave them a chance everytime Max asked for it even without him knowing that, and I can say that Wes is my favorite forgiving character, he loved Max even when he was behaving badly, when he thought that Max didn't want him, he didn't stop at any time.
Overall, this book got me really emotional, I was a big mess of emotions, especially in the second half of it, and I emotional doesn't mean just sad, I was angry with them, happy, confused, it was a really great work.
The last few chapters shocked me a bit honestly, because I know people can go to any length to get what they want, I just didn't expect it to be like that, btw, I'm still shocked thinking about what happened :D
We met many side characters here, I have my own assumptions for them, no that's a lie, I made my own stories for them😂 and I can't wait to read more about them, to know their stories and their real characters, I'll absolutely be reading more by the author <3
