“Are you a sure thing?”

“The surest,” I whispered. Criminally down bad behavior.

“What if I say I don’t want it?”

He didn’t move an inch. “Oh, you want it.”

“How do you know?” Said the man who is so obvious it can be seen from space.

“Max is not a dick.” He fumed.

That’s how I knew his love was real. So real that my chest actually swelled with it. I never thought hearing someone declare I wasn’t a dick could mean so much to me. But it did.

Because I was a dick.

A giant one.

😂TRUE.

“We all know he won’t do anything without a green light from you.”

Satisfaction coursed through me. I did know. Sorry not sorry.

💀Yes, actually. More MCs who know the intensity of the hold they have over the other.

I loved this for the most part. I would have been okay with it being shorter, ending right before the batshit behavior in the final 20%.

Wes is the author's biggest victim and strongest proof of concept for Murphy's law. He has exceptional bad luck.

I also thought the letter was too neat of an ending. Maybe I'm nitpicking but I was okay with their decision re: parental thoughts. It sort of watered down the weight of their earlier declarations about loving each other in spite of, well....everything. But maybe I can just let people have nice things.

Basically, the first 50% of this book was 5 stars for me. The latter 50% brought it to a 4. Still good, but a bit of a letdown after the first half.
