For The Fans by Nyla K

I was looking for something silly and smutty to read, and this book is so frequently recommended that I gave it a go. It's a ridiculous premise that the author does little to make feel logical, but I went along for the ride hoping it would make sense at some point.
Structurally it's WAY too long. The first few chapters showing them at 16 didn't need to be there, and actually made the whole book feel icky. It improved slightly for the first third, but then it just went so far downhill when it became obvious the author has no ability to edit. There is so much unnecessary content and so many repetitive scenes that blur together. The dialogue was so often awkward and cringe, most especially the dirty talk. I don't think there's a single page that didn't remind us they're stepbrothers.
I skimmed about 60% of this to see if there was anything redeemable, and didn't find it. It's not well conceived or well written.

I related the to story as someone who had to come to terms with my sexuality as a new adult after falling for a specific person who challenged my comphet mindset. The writing wasn’t perfect, and the story dragged in places, but I thought it was overall a good story. The narration in the audiobook was likewise good, not great. There were some inconsistencies and at least one instance where a name was pronounced differently than it had been throughout.
I don’t typically read books if I know the protagonists are <25 years old, but I wanted to see what the hype was. I enjoyed the book, but I’m not sure I’d reread.
⭐️: Barely finished, almost DNF

⭐️: Barely finished, almost DNF
⭐️⭐️: Finished, but was nothing wonderful
⭐️⭐️⭐️: Enjoyed, but would probably not read again
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Highly enjoyed, would likely read again
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This book is now a part of my regular rotation to re-read and/or changed my brain chemistry
The writing seemed a bit ackward at times, and probably would of freed up a few pages of filler stuff. But it was honestly a pretty good story.

YALL I WAS NOT PREPARED. First I went into this totally blind like barely looked at the cover blind. I just heard such good things and immediately dove in so I did not realize it was MM 😂😂 Imagine my surprise. However, it made no difference to me. Still loved it. The story was so good. And the spice was off the charts. I had to pause because it had me blushing so hard.

My first MM read. I went in blind. The spice was spicing! The story flowed perfectly. The trauma was handled with care and understanding by the author, and I will be investigating more of their books.
It was a 10/10 for me. Highly recommend.
