TW : viol, inceste, pédophilie, crise de panique, violence familiale
Mhhh j'avoue ne pas trop savoir quel avis donner à ce livre. Si j'ai bien aimé ne serait-ce que pour le cast et la représentation queer présente, je ne sais pas si j'ai réellement tout apprécié.
Déjà, bien qu'il soit en anglais, j'ai vraiment eu du mal avec le style d'écriture et notamment tout le côté très slang, argot de l'écriture. J'avoue que ça a été au point d'un peu me frustrer.
Et surtout, SURTOUT BORDEL, l'absence de TW qui sont pourtant hyper importants et violents ? Je sais que souvent ce n'est pas le choix des auteurices et plutôt (malheureusement) des me, mais cela n'empêche pas que ça trigger très très facilement. Et quand on ne s'y attends pas, oui, ça fait un choc.
bref, l'histoire était quand même un peu mignonne, mais j'ai pas accroché plus que ça !

don’t let the pretty cover fool you; this sucked ASS💀 all of the characters are annoying and the writing style is shit and worse than a 11 yo who writes dramione on wattpad. the books deals with some very heavy topics, but i don’t think it did it well enough and there was just really nothing about it that i enjoyed. me giving it 1,5⭐️ is being very generous

"I get to choose who I want to be and how I want to live. I get to choose who I want as my family. I'm not afraid anymore. Because I'm home. Easton is my home."
-Paul Donovan Acre.
How to start reviewing this book? All I know is... I love this book so much! This book is my first new adult and I love the process of reading the whole story so much. My emotions sums up in this book. How I love Paul Acre so much as a person and understand his struggles with his family; his dad and siblings. I love the way he becomes as a human being. He becomes more himself and more vulnerable with Easton and Huxley.
And Easton, I really love him too as a person and understand so much why he hid his illness from Paul because he was afraid that he will be a burden for Paul if he tells him; and it makes sense. This book with all the emotions, make me cried too. I really want to hug both Paul and Easton.
And I love how romantic and poetic Paul is. He has anger issues, yes. And acts like an asshole, yes. But, deep in his heart; he is genuine. I love Paul too much! And I also love that Aidan, Tyler, Jacob and Skylar made cameos here; Noahverse crossover.
Huxley, she is a bestfriend material to Paul, indeed. He helped Paul so much to be a better person by assigned him to meet Dr. Orleen and helped Paul overcome his trauma. And... how she handled her long distance relationship with Jace; top notch! I also love Jace, Dani and Felix. What a lovely minor characters!
And the steamy sex scene... I love how this scene, written beautifully. Such a brilliant way to wrote a sex scene between Paul and Easton. I love this book so so much. This I Promise You has a special place in my heart! 🌹
Thank you for bringing such a lovely story of Paul and Easton to Noahverse. And also... my 1st time reading book with two authors, I love both Jordon's and Kalob's writing. So much! And this book really bring myself back to my 90s heart with This I Promise You by *NSYNC as a soundtrack.
Next, Snowflake Kisses on the way!

I didn't like the characters much, I didn't feel they had much chemistry, and I also don't feel the summary accurately describes the book.
