Going from the perfection of Bromantic Puckboy to this was certainly a choice. I’m not really certain Knox and Easton needed a whole novel, especially when nearly half of it was updates about the other Queer Collective members, and setting up the next Puckboys book. This truly could’ve been an optional novella about what the original members were up to and a little blip about this new couple.

“Forbidden” in the title was also a choice when the forbidden aspects of the relationship were addressed before they even began dating. Brother’s best friend but make the stakes literally nothing. I was just bored, I don’t know. And if I actually enjoy seeing Ezra and Oskar over the main couple, there’s an issue.  

I will say I am super interested in Connor and Parker. We should’ve gotten their book after Bromantic and scrapped this one.
