I liked the concept, but the book just didn't deliver for me at all. I rated two stars because the writer is clearly very good however a character in this book was just completely unrealistic. I just couldn't figure him out, he almost seemed autistic? Yet no mental impediment is mentioned. And yet if his social ineptitude is merely just a personality trait the character doesn't experience growth and development. I understand social anxiety, but I just couldn't wrap my head around this. Not to mention as soon as the MC's get kinky all of a sudden all his usual traits are flown out the window and he's suddenly a confident, sensual person? I couldn't buy it. I liked the other MC though so that was something. The book overall was just very tiring and unrealistic. However, if you are a huge huge fan of the anxious socially-awkward nerd and popular jock trope then have a go at it. It made me laugh a bit.

Really enjoyed this book. It was a little boring at first and hard to get into, but once the friendship between Foster and Zach develops it gets way better. I loved how caring Foster was without being overprotective. He wanted Zach to have his own experiences and it was nice in comparison to how extremely over protective his twin Seth was.

I was glad to see that Seth was actually very supportive of their relationship, and backed off once he saw Zach was doing well.

It was nice to see a character from a previous series as well.

Would recommend, and will be continuing the series
