“ i’m currently itching to get home so i can smokey smoke . “ (p. 2)

“ i’m kind of a weirdo , and i don’t want to have to change myself just to make friends . i’m a strong believer and it’ll happen if and when it happens . if there are people out there who also love art and email and music from before their time , who fan over cryptids and true crime , and tarantino , then we will eventually find each other and become friends . “ (p. 3)

“ okay , fine . the pigs are hunting for truffles . “ i grin while she stares at me . “ you’re the truffle … ’cause they’re fancy . “(p. 8)

this intro REEKS .

idgi man , how are these books 4.4 stars ? i’m straight up getting trust issues with reviewers . i’m so fed up reading these dogwater romance books masquerading as literature when i swear to christ it’s as though someone was like telling me about them through soup cans on a string .

and what’s with this edgelord behavior from avi ? jughead from riverdale lookin’ ass . wow you’re so cool smoking pot and skipping class . you really told him by cussing ! oh , underage drinking ? naughty naughty rebel .

also , are we brave enough to have the kyran is an abuser conversation yet ?

this “ book “ is not well-written or particularly engaging . in like 80 pages they go from “ not gay “ lol to anal . your honor ?? hello ?? and , there’s religious trauma that manifests . . . oddly ? like , does not affect him sexually at all ? if anything the pair of them are super plussed about it .

but , to that point , god these books have so much godforsaken hidden religious trauma . maybe warn a reader in a romance book when their protagonist was a victim of RAPE IN THE CHURCH !

WHAT THE HELL !

god i’m so mad for having read this book coz i feel like a fucking moron for believing it would be good . thanks , nyla . now it is your boys and me who no longer believe in god .

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“My angel saved me. He rescued me from hiding. He held me when I needed him, and he loved me when I didn’t. He’s selfless, real… just a brilliant, beautiful fucking weirdo. I’m in love with an angel… And his name is Avi.”

i went blind into this and… as much as the end wrecked me, it was the right choice💔
the great reviews on here really didn’t disappoint. i had high hopes and… wow. i was feeling SO much during this read.
frustration, anxiety, swoon, heartbreak, even more swoon, love… wow


plot:
i loved the way their self discovery was portrayed! And the way the author included religion… usually something I don’t like (as a non religious person who’s also queer) but it was really really good especially what Avi’s mom said) 


characters

avi: my sweet boy!! he really was amazing. I could relate a lot to him, the way he thought he didn’t belong anywhere.

kyran: I WANT TO PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS!!! My poor baby💔my heart broke for him… as much as he frustrated me at first (like some things he said… JUST NO) but at the end… he and avi are made for each other <3  (I just know he would have said yes if avi asked at the end)

i am SO happy this didn’t disappoint!!

3.5 ⭐️’s !!

i really enjoyed this, i always rate smutty books like this on a different scale… 3 stars is probably about equivalent to a 5 stars when it comes to super nsfw books !! i loved this, taboo romances honestly are a guilty pleasure for me and this was one of them for sure. i love these two so much and the trauma portrayed through kyran is so well done.
