“I link my fingers with his, holding his hand again, to let him know we’re in this now. No matter what happens… it’s us. Kyran and Avi… we’re real now.”

3/5/24: Updating after finishing the audiobook. The story was even better the second time around, and the narrators chosen were literally perfect. Could not imagine better voice actors to emulate Avi and Kyran. This certainly won’t be my last reread.

2/20/24: Hi, I’m here writing this at 73% because I already know this is going to be a five star read and one of the best books I’ve ever read, and definitely the best MM I’ve ever read. I’ve been reading this for 12 hours straight and still have four hours left but I already know this story will not be long enough for me. I know a lot of people say it’s too long but to them I say, NAY.

Okay, now I’m finished, and it definitely wasn’t long enough. God, this book was everything. I will admit I was a stupid idiot and originally DNF’d it at like 5% because I thought Kyran hating Avi for no reason was stupid and I also couldn’t deal with the double punctuation marks everywhere like “??” and “?!” To be fair, I was in a book slump after The Ravenhood series and was being overly critical of everything. But I came back and I’m so glad I did.

Kyran, my baby boy. Ugh, I just loved him. I know he was a dick to Avi in the beginning but he was just hurting so bad you could feel it. He just wanted and deserved to be loved. And Avi, oh I could cry. Literally perfect. He was so good to Kyran, and really everyone. He was constantly shit on but he never let it get to him and he always had an open heart and forgave Kyran every time he ran.

Jesus, the spice in this book. I almost feel scandalized, in the best way. I’ve never read a book with so much smut. Like, ever. But even though it’s very spicy, it never took away from the plot. It was actually very essential to the plot because they got closer and closer each time.

Again, you will never hear me complaining about the length of this book because it. was. not. long. enough. I love that we got to see every interaction they had. There was no fade to black or any summarizing their time together. We were there for each moment. Each time they got closer. I feel like I slowly fell in love with each of them myself because I was there for it all. Oh my god, I’m emotional.

Also want to shout out Kyran getting drafter by the PHILADELPHIA FUCKING EAGLES! My goddamn team. And they moved to Philly and ate at one of my favorite doughnut shops. And there were mentions of Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. I was totally fangirling at the end.

This will not be my last read. I intend to get the audiobook and relive this story over and over. These boys are everything to me.

(P.S. Excuse all my notes and highlights. I literally would’ve highlighted the entire book because every word was beautiful.)
