"i have had this book on my TBR for so long and it was the perfect palate cleanser. i loved the dynamics and playfulness of oliver an luc's relationship. that being said, the pacing was kind of all over the place but the writing was great. if you are just a casual reader and like to take your time with books, you'll love this.

"3.5 star<br/><br/>Joe Jameson did a impressive job narrating if you are into audiobooks. He made the story even more fun and laughable. So that being said this was an entertaining, light read. Though the only thing that kept the rating low was the plot, which was a bit shallow. Really nothing much happens. You follow two men, who have very real problems and watch them cope with it.<br/><br/>So while I enjoyed much of the story it wasn't fulfilling. Also the relationship had a strong chemistry, almost as if they were drawn to one another. Oliver was unbelievably sweet and innocent while Lucian was a jerk who couldn't trust anyone. They worked so well together and character arc was very touching and romantic. It's just the plot didn't make much sense and wasn't all together there. Lucian didn't seem to care about his job. It felt to me like he was just really good at it and couldn't go anywhere else.<br/><br/>The story, to me, was very average and mundane but in a homey kind of way. It felt honest and inviting. Not everything and everyone was perfect. They all had genuine problems even if they didn't admit it to them. There was a light shown on self demprication and I appreciated that. As the story was very low key it also was quite enjoyable. Though the end did wrapped up, it was too quick in my opinion."
