4.0

This was a really good story. For me they always are when at some point I can connect with what the MCs feel and in this case, I suffered a lot for Elliot. I mean, I could palpably feel all the pain he felt the night of his graduation, for example, and how it stayed with him for years to come, and even though Ander somehow made up for it in the end, every time I remember the scene , I hurt for him again. Like when Ander discovers what he's been missing by not being with other guys, and he decides to explore with anyone but Elliot.

The story is well written, it has many sweet moments and other distressing ones. I like it, despite how my poor Elliot suffered, how Ander decides to explore that new part of him, without fear and without shame, trying to be honest with himself, although always oblivious to what was really happening with Elliot.

In general an entertaining book, with some cameos from other books, which makes it even better.

I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
