**SPOILERS AHEAD**
This was such a frustrating read to me. I really just wanted to keep going with this series because the plots are all so fun and just exactly what I want! But the writing just never gets it right! It felt like someone just wanted to write something so they did but it also felt like a project that the author loved because there would be such heartfelt scenes, scenes that I would've appreciated more if we tackled the issue of Curtis/Lawrence just fucking off after the sad attempt of Benji's mother to get him to leave Benji. In what world would that make sense, it's not even the fact he left because of that, it's the fact Benji was the one who chased him and even after all these years it seemed like Curtis is the only victim here. Imagine being gay and falling in love with another gay person and you both had homophobic parents you had to tolerate all throughout your growing years because you still don't know shit about handling yourselves and instead of having your lover stand with you HOURS AFTER YOUR SECRET WEDDING, they just leave. and you're the one to chase them. and you're the one still chasing them like it didn't traumatize you that the one person you thought loved you and was willing to grow old with you just left because of, what? A fucking recording that he knew himself deep inside could've been fake. And he let that be for nine fucking, agonizing years.
I'm not saying I would absolutely leave Curtis if I was Benji but I definitely would. How can you say you love him when you didn't even give him the chance to explain? Why would you waste so much time being angry and afraid when you could've been so happy, you DUMB FUCKING ASS BITCH. I hate this series. I actually was gonna rate this 2 stars and then I started my review and damn, I really hated this book.
