"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!
