I received a free copy of this book via the Goodreads Don't buy My Love program in exchange for an honest review.First, I liked this story. I think the author tried to cover too much in less than 100 pages. It only covers about a week, but there is so much going on with both MCs, that the story glossed over the problems. I felt like something was missing.Dillon and Jack were best friends in high school. Jack didn’t know Dillon was gay and ignored the taunts made by their classmates toward Dillon. Granted, Jack was deep in the closet, mostly because of his father. This story covers a week in Jack and Dillon’s lives that brings them back together for the first time in 10 years. Jack has problems from his military service, including PTSD. Jack is supposed to be a mess, but that was almost an afterthought. Dillon seems like he could be a strong character, but I didn’t get a complete picture of him. Again, something was missing. I didn’t feel the relationship or the story. The blurb hooked me, but the book just didn’t deliver.
