Review after half of the novel

I enjoy every character and the leads are both very sympathetic and charming with some complexities common to us all. The secondary characters are also well drawn out sympathetic. Many books rely on bad guys driving the plot and while there are a couple annoyances, they are minimally important to the plot. The book is also well written and it is an easy read! It looks like the first story is the first 49 chapters, and then perhaps wholly different stories follow?

Well written and fun! Good story, interesting, well rounded characters. Nice writing style, doesn’t get bogged down with repetition to fill out chapters. Plot is a lot of fun, nice change from the usual run of the mill stuff you get, never dull. The characters have their own perfectly believable strengths and insecurities – even the dreaded ex proves himself as more than just a comic book style villain. I’m rooting for these guys and really hoping they all win in the end!

I just love this story it's so heartwarming and it had me almost in tears several times I absolutely adore Kelly he's the most beautiful person on the planet even if he's not real. I wish I could be in the middle of this story just so I can whisper in their ears just be together you know you want to. I loved the dynamic between the two main characters it's just so I don't even know heartwarming is the only word I can describe it.

This novel is extremely well written, with extensive vocabulary which I often find other novels lacking. The characters are interesting and diverse and don’t feel like they’re there just for representation —which I would also appreciate but it’s nice how they just naturally fit into the story. And I love the development of the story! It’s not too drawn out or frustrating but still engaging and interesting and in every other chapter there’re some unexpected twists and turns. Oh and of course there’re also the very well written sex scenes as the cherry on top!

This story is great! This is my first gay love story but it’s all about freedom and choices. Choices without shame. I would absolutely love to sit down and have a drink with almost all the main characters! The friendships between people seem so natural and no complicated love triangles! It’s mostly just a story about two guys that find they admire each other and then want to touch bodies after. It’s definitely still steamy but the friendships between people stand out the most!

Fake relationship turning into something real is one of my favorite tropes, and this one is very well done. Some of the descroption can be a bit overdone, but the relationship progresses in predictable, but sweet fashion. The sex is written brilliantly. Lots of typos can be distracting. I do find Kelly to sometimes be a little too good. For instance his late night swim that turns into a conversation with Kenneths father that magically repairs their relationship is a step too far away from plausibility. I like how the ex is handled, though.

I find it to be very realistic, if not a little over thr top, but I am enjoying it thoroughly. I'm hoping there are some exciting things in the next chapters, as I want to see Kelly and Kenneth together. The scene I enjoyed the most was the dancing. Kelly seemed to finally get himself and they have been enjoying themselves a lot ever since. Kelly is really good for Kenneth and I can really see a future that looks bright for both.

If you love MM romantic stories, this is the novel for you. It's a compilation of short stories with different tropes and types of relationships with gay couples as main protagonists. All of them with happy ending. The stories are interesting, steamy and very engaging. The characters are very relatable, lovable and realistic. They also gave compelling backgrounds and great character development. Love how age positive this author is. Makes their characters more mature and insightful. Really like this author.
