Whit by Cora Rose

4.0

"They say I have a crush. Nah, it’s an obsession."

Oh I did not realize that this one was going to hurt like that.
My heart.. for not just Caleb but for Whit.

There was a lot to unpack in this one but just that right amount of pain to go with it and happy times.
Caleb is straight.. maybe?
Whit is the quiet room mate who Caleb thinks hates him.. until he knows for sure.
All it took was a cold cuddle session and things took that turn.
Caleb & Whit who are complete opposite to each other in every way that two guys can be. The quiet, reserved one who prefers solitude to the extrovert who has no issues being out & loud.
Caleb is the sunshine in the darkness for Whit, a darkness that I couldn't grasp if I wanted to. It hurt too much.

"And I’m all alone. Again. I’ll always be alone. I didn’t have to be. But I chose this, didn't I?"
The heartbreaking and hardest part for me was Whit. His past and his current life are all a combination of pain and hurt. It was a tough pill to swallow and accept. The pain jumped off the page for me and hit where it would the most. I wanted to just wrap him up and never let go.

This book wasn't so much the spice for me although it was sooo good & yummy! It's always those quiet ones that can do it just right.
The building relationship of Whit & Caleb from start to finish is what I loved about this book.
I was unprepared for what I went through with this book but those are the ones that stick with you.
