The Inconvenient Love by Briar Prescott
5.0
This book....just wrecked me in the best way. When I first picked it up, it was because I love a good brother's best friend trope, but I wasn't expecting to be so emotional as I read about Max and Isac. The prologue broke my heart and I sobbed as I read through Isac's pain, embarrassment, and desire to get away from the one person who loved and hurt him all at the same time. I could so relate to him, and I was angry at Max for hurting him in such a way. I wasn't sure how I could ever like him after how he broke Isac's heart.
But then....I read through Max's thoughts and feelings and I just loved him too. It wasn't the right time for them when Isac first revealed how he felt, but when they came together the second time it was beautiful.
I loved the way the relationship began, how they questioned what they were truly doing, how they fell in love in front of us. It was just gorgeous and messy and wonderful. I had no idea how they would ever be able to be with each other, but it was certainly clear that they did belong together.
The ending was perfect. The compromise was perfect, and the epilogue put my heart back together. I've read every Briar Prescott book written, but this is hands-down my favorite. It is actually one of my favorite books ever and I know it will be a frequent reread. I am very sad to say good-bye to this group of friends and partners, but what an ending.
"Is," he whispers, and I look at him because I can't do anything else. "I love you," he says.
I close my eyes, trying to contain my emotions, but I really, really can't.
"I fucking love you too," I say. "But-"
"No. No buts."
I open my eyes and look at him.
"We're going to make this work," he says. "Because there's no other option. Nod if you understand."
