"This was everything. He was everything. He was mine."

I never expected to get sucked into a book so fast but Bailey & Harlow had me in Book 1.
These two go through it and when I say it, it is everything.

This book is full of heartbreak, hurt, sorrow but even more so it is filled with doubt and longing. Don't get me wrong it is a damn great story these two have but it is littered with everything that will pull at your chest.
Bailey & Harlow separately are two great characters, on the outside. On the inside both struggle with rejection.
Bailey has been rejected before and the hurt it caused left a crack that he can't seem to close no matter what he does so he keeps his distance from anything that could hurt him.
Harlow has found his person. The one person that is meant only for him except he is pushed away. On the outside he still exudes his confidence but deep down he is hurt, the one person that should be his, doesn't want him.

The miscommunication between these two is small but it's there and it makes the impact of it that much greater for these two and their story and how it ultimately plays out.
Not feeling good enough deep down was Baileys downfall and it ultimately comes back to hurt him. The pain, heartbreak and self doubt that follows Bailey throughout is the hardest to swallow down. Harlow wants to be there for him but Bailey is ingrained to do things on his own especially after how his past has played out.

The way this book had me sobbing uncontrollably at multiple points is a feat that not many can do. But there was just one that had me tossing my kindle away.
I had to stop.
I had to take a deep breath.
It hurt.
It was unexpected.
I never imagined it to go that way but in the end it almost had to, to get to where it ends up.

Trust me if you go into this book, prepare. I was not prepared for that or this book as a whole.
Expect Marvel movies, best friends, more demons and supes, an over the top twink
