This book was an absolute banger. And when it came to bangs, AH delivered aplenty! This book also wins the award for sexiest scene where they’re not even having sex.
Let’s talk about the little things. First up, George’s pet names for Arden. Next, Ellery’s snarky way she shows Arden she cares. Then we have the descriptions about wardrobe - chef’s kids. Lastly, Arden’s family being the absolute best (like, will they please adopt me?).
I’m going to sneak in the Joel Leslie appreciation commentary here. I will say that the writing is impeccable, but so is the audio performance. Truly, it’s so good I almost don’t have words for how delicious it is.
Now I will talk about the one thing I didn’t like about the series - the covers. I’m sorry, this is totally me, but the cover model doesn’t look anything like how I picture Caspian and I find him very distracting.
I’m not gonna lie. This book - and the series in general - was difficult at times. For sure check the trigger, er, Caspian doesn’t like that word… but you get what I’m saying. The content warnings. They are plentiful. But AH doesn’t shy away from the difficult and uses it to create a touching story of healing and finding (accepting?) what makes you happy.
Somewhere in the middle I think I would’ve been ok if the book had gone in a different direction. I was ok with Arden finding his happiness elsewhere. But hot damn! AH spins the story and makes it work. How? I will end how I began. Alexis Hall is a fucking amazing writer.
Now it’s over and I have the sads. 😔
