Out of Character

Rating: 4 ⭐Summary:Childhood best friends–now ex-best-friends–are reconnected once popular jock, Milo Lionetti, loses rare Odyssey cards in a bet and needs Jasper's help to figure out a way to find replacements. Jasper and Milo have a complicated past with old wounds from high school bullying and abandonment. Now that they've had year apart to be able to grow and change, they realize that they still have things in common and come to find a new kind of love for each other.Review:Annabeth Albert's style (at least in [b:Conventionally Yours 49811667 Conventionally Yours (True Colors, #1) Annabeth Albert https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1576001057l/49811667.SX50.jpg 71921779] and this book) feels juvenile and more of a YA book. This was fine, since it is cute and often cheesy, however, it does make for some confusing boundaries when it comes to the hot scenes. Albert choose to imply things a lot, while at the same time, giving more than enough details. It's this weird in between spot. I would have preferred if things were either described in detail or not at all. Other than that, the story is cute. Old wounds are healed and new love is found. I really like the cute love between Albert's characters. Yes, there is some adult scenes, however, it isn't the sole focus and the love between the characters is a highlight–with cute, innocent kisses and cuddles. Good book. I think I liked this one better than Conventionally Yours, since I like the Friends-to-Lovers trope more than Enemies-to-Lovers.
