This was pretty cute.
Rafe and Cam were adorable together, once we got past their little “enemies” stage which I still don’t really understand at all.
I really appreciated the ace representation in this book, and how it looked a lot different than the norm. Rafe was relatively uninterested in sex but was fine with engaging in it every once in a while to feel close to Cam and give him pleasure. Which is a real and valid ace experience, that we don’t see a lot of.
My only negatives with this book were the weird antagonistic views Rafe had towards Cam in the beginning for no reason, and for the way he treated Laura and wouldn’t just put his foot down with his parents. I felt for him, but it was all very unnecessary. But I’ll also say, without those things, the book would’ve probably been very boring. I just wish they had some better, more entertaining things to focus energy on.
Overall, this series has been sugary sweet and relatively low-angst. Except for Just Friends which I DNF’d.
