Rating: 4 out of 5

I received a copy of this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review.Hm. Well, I want to give this book 4 stars, but I didn’t love it quite that much. It’s a shorter story, and that somewhat limits the story arc. However, I’m actually pleased with where this starts and how much time passes and how the relationship  grows. Kurt is struggling in the beginning, having just come out to his family and friends, who all rejected him. James has already been there and lived through it. This is their story. There are a few secondary characters, but they don’t have many lines.Kurt was also hurt in prior relationships, and that has affected his relationship with James. I’m okay with how Kurt makes his way through that pain. James is pretty stellar. His imperfections are all off screen and only alluded to in the story, so that makes him seem too good to be true. Kurt has the most growing to do, as well as the most adversity to overcome. In a way, this is more Kurt’s story than James’. That’s ok. It works.So, while I wouldn’t say this is a solid 4 stars, I will round up from 3.5+ angsty but fluffy stars. ;-)
