This story was heartbreakingly beautiful.
Being in love with your best friend and together for years only to be disregarded in the worst way, it hurts.

I absolutely loved Cole & Patrick.
Their dynamic throughout the book was so on point with each other that it was easy to tell that they truly were it for one another, if only it weren't for the coming out.
Cole & Patrick's lives have always been entwined together and when a wrench is thrown into it, it threatened to derail them in a way that was almost unfathomable. That saying is always there "you never know what you have until it's gone" rang true in this book.

There was a lot that I loved about this book, lots of positives.
We love versatility.. so yummy!
Overload of emotions & feelings
Banter all around them but especially between the two of them
The found family vibes that just sit right and make everything click in place.

Patrick's hang up had me in tears and I just got it. That kind of hurt gets deep seated and is hard to let go if at all. Understanding flooded me in that moment and I got him on a deeper level, the protectiveness all made sense.

I laughed, I cried, I smiled so much while reading. This is one of those books that will absolutely wreck you then slowly but surely put you back together again.
Truly a great story that I will remember and I cannot wait to get more from this group.
