This one could’ve easily been a 5 star read. The entire premise was PERFECT for that rating…

Size difference. Feisty twink. Virginal teddy bear. Bad first date. Roommates. Gah!!!!

But NO. These idiots had to miscommunicate for over 80% of the book. We got a couple chapters and an epilogue of “relationship.”

Like WTF???

I’m honestly mad because I wanted to love this one. The story could’ve been perfect if that blasted miscommunication trope didn’t last 80+% of the book.

I feel like it was mostly Felix’s fault. He was flirty and experienced and feisty AND GE WAS TOLD to talk and be open with Marshall. But did he do any of that? NO. And Marshall was too big of a marshmallow that any relationship progress would never come from him and that’s OKAY. But Felix just didn’t trust himself or Marshall enough and ugh.

Just ugh, y’all.
