4.5

Firstly, thank you, Devon, for the ARC! 

Secondly, OMG, I absolutely enjoyed this book. It was so fratty and cheesy, and I couldn't stop reading it and giggling at Lance and Ty's story. It was such a great mix of cheesy frat, dude bro energy, touching moments, spicy AF scenes and just the corniest of endings. 

Ty and Lance's relationship from rival frat bros to lovers was so much fun and their little playfulness with each other was just so perfect, and it made so much more fun when they went to the lover end of their relationship. I liked that early on, before they started hooking up, they shared a genuine moment in which Lance showed he was concerned for Ty. It was just a cute little movie moment when one of the MCs thinks that maybe the other MC means something else. It is cute and cheesy, and it just hits the right spots for me. 

The spicy scenes were anything but disappointing. It was so fun seeing the two explore their new Bi awakening. But my favourite parts were that they both listened to each other's body to ensure that they were each being pleased, and they weren't just being selfish lovers. 

Over all 10/10 loved it all and would def read this again.

What started as a prank gone “wrong” do the two frat bros realize a few things about themselves.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a pretty lighthearted read with good character depth.  The banter between the two main characters was amazing and I can’t stress how much I enjoyed the lack of toxic masculinity while the two figured their sexuality and feelings out.  

The angst in general was low and I loved how instead of a relationship struggle in the third act the author had them work together with a problem that came up in the plot.

(Note: I received this copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author and his team for the opportunity.)
