I love GFY stories, but the development of this one seems too fast and easy for me when it comes to gay awakening. 

Caleb and Whit have sex and do boyfriend-y things right off the bat as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

Although sometimes it is adorable that Caleb accepts the change without much fanfare, there wasn't a deep enough of a connection for me between the two to justify their affection for each other aside from initial lust.

The issues that arise between them stem mostly from Whit who had a tougher upbringing despite his family's immense wealth. He is starved of love because his parents deprive him of it. While Caleb, even losing his mother and not knowing his father, had a loving childhood courtesy of his relatives. 

Other obstacles that throw a wrench in their relationship were mostly minute to even be registered. Ultimately, it comes down to them choosing what they value more: love or money. 

Other things to note, there's a tad too much sex and some may feel uncomfortable with some of the scenes
for example, when Caleb finds Whit's self-harm scars sexy

This book made my stomach flutter and my heart ache so many times! I am so in love with them.

Hot, HE. IS. SO. HOT. I’m obsessed with Whit!

Caleb is so sweet, like a fucking teddy bear. Except he is a lot more horny then a teddy bear.

No joke I actually cried a few times. It just fucking hurt to read some of the things. It was breaking my heart to read their emotions.

My heart is aching so much for them. I love them so much. 

oh and it’s an explicit book.

I couldn't put this one down and I  absolutely adore Whit and Caleb. Such a sweet and angsty story.

Update: I just reread this book because I wanted an angsty and emotional story. I knew this book would do it, and I wasn't disappointed in the least. It's still so good the second time through.
