What a ride of an novella  (pun intended) the epilogue was so funny. I love how this added world building to the omegaverse.

My first book with a trans main character. I liked the story of our MC wanting to join the soccer team, finding a romance but also the laws and hurdles of being a trans student in high school and how that effects students. It made me think of how it effect students in real life and how I as an ally can actually help or advocate. It was a hopeful, inspiring story.

5.0

The Bergman brothers series are my comfort books!
I love the slow burn, no third act break up, grumpy/sunshine trope and enemies to lover!
Oliver and Gavin feel like two compete people with their own lives, insecurities, desires and goals before then even think that they have feelings for each other.
 
the time skip and all the weddings had me crying and reliving the first four books all over again 
 
I cannot wait for the rest of the series!

Much better than book one, world building, characters, tropes and plot twists were better fleshed out.
Still not ground breaking in 2022 and still not faire porn.  
If  I have to read 55 chapters for 10 pages of barely smut, its just a normal fantasy romance, I wanted more about the war, the wall, the magic system and feyre's father dying and sisters getting engaged and turned into fae themsevles.
It's mostly  fantasy romance  that's easy to digest and annotate.

Boyfriend Graham is wonderful, amazing, a solid book boyfriend
Husband Graham  awful, horrible, immature and not a great husband. 
I guess that fits with showing how couples grow and change over time and how it isn't always for the best. This does not have a HEA and everyone should check the triggers going into this book.
