Things We Hide from the Light

3.5

The only reason i decided to read this book was because i wanted to read lucian's book, but i felt that it will feel weird because i wouldn't have majority of the answers that took place in this one. And the reason i didn't want to read this because i cared very less for Nash but also, i pictured him with a beer belly and a mustache, so it was hard to find him bits of hot. But as I read this book, i fell in love with the characters and Lucy Score's writing in this is so good and well worded. It was equal parts funny and angsty, and hot. However, what really put me off (other than how fucking long it was) was the third act conflict was a break up. And the reason was none other than the same one that Knox used in his book. Both boys clearly need therapy to work out their daddy issues.

This could have been a 4 stars but sadly, the break up scene happened and deduced it to 3.5. I am growing tired of authors using break up as the plot twist, or third act conflict. Anything can happen, breaks up are not it. Besides, a couple who can easily break things off is not a great, strong couple you know? How weak your love is that you're walking away because you think you can't help everyone or some shit like that lmao
