Sweet, funny, heavy, emotional roller coaster from start to finish. Could have been a tiny bit shorter as it started to get repetitive, but I didn’t mind some extra banter and character building. I miss them already!

I loved this book.  An emotional book dealing with dark themes and has spicy scenes addiction.  I think it wrote about addiction and a very gritty and realistic way and yet had great humor even if some was dark I found myself laughing out loud a lot in this book despite it being emotional and heavy. As someone who deals with tragedy and difficult situations with humor and dark humor I truly appreciate it this book and it will be my top books of the year

My feelings for this book are quite complicated.

Things i liked:
- Jake and Felix’s relationship
- their love
- the cute text messages
- cj and jake’s relationship (flawed, but good)
Things I didnt like:
- at first it felt VERY insta lovely
- Jake definitely had anger issues which threw me off a lot
- a lot of unnecessary cursing (im not against cursing, but when it happens every 2 seconds, it felt like too much)
- sometimes the guys felt like 17 year olds
- the whole military plotline was so unnecessary 
- the cheating trope was soo unnecessary, considering we didnt get any backstory or development there
- that one super racist and homophobic character was so unnecessary 
- some side characters were just so useless in the story, they added nothing and we learned nothing about there
I love that this book discusses drug addiction and trauma, but I wish it was a bit more in depth
