This is an enemies to lovers book at its finest. 

The way that one smallish mistake can change the life course for not only the 2 MCs but for their friends and family, shows the ripple effects decisions can have.

The way that this book is set up is quite brilliant. With shorter chapters you get a better flow and understanding of Rhys and Everest moods and feelings. We also get to know these characters and why certain decisions were made. The fact that we get a slight build up of the side characters I see as a plus, even if it may take away from the two main characters. 

We get to see the growth but also the struggle between the two MCs during the book. 

Not only for Rhys to realize that his sexuality is not what he thought but also that the person he has hated for years is struggling just as much as he is. 

Everest struggles with the implications of his decision to be silent at the age of 14 and it has been hunting him for years. It has also made him disregard his relationship with his brother, all because Elton is Rhys best friend. And he didn't know how to tell the truth.

Be aware to read the full blurb and warnings in the beginning of the book. This is a book for mature audiences. 

I received an advance copy directly from the Author in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.
