Abroad: Book Two by Liz Jacobs

5.0

Listen, this book is like, 75% sex and I am HERE FOR IT.

Nick and Dex continue to be PERFECT and I loved everything about them. Some disjointed, spoilery thoughts:
SpoilerOh my god, I was so into every time Nick asked for what he wanted in bed, and how he got more confident as the time went on. I can't believe how many sex scenes there were, and that they were all fundamentally different, but all really hot in their own way.
I LOVED that Nick and Dex's brother bonded when he visited Dex's family. I loved Zoya a lot and the way she reacted when Nick came out to her. His mom's reaction was heartbreaking and 100% expected, but I'm glad that by the end at least, she tried.
I FUCKING LOVED Nick and Dex at Pride. I definitely cried over the epilogue and Dex getting Nick the book about a gay Russian in the 1900s because Nick was always supposed to exist!! I'm so emotional.


Izzy's story was GREAT and
SpoilerI loved how messy the whole Natali situation was, but that it got resolved in the end, but I was DISGUSTINGLY INTO Izzy and Alex. Like, they were so fucking great and such a mess too and I adore them beyond belief, and the moment where it comes out that Alex is into Izzy is EVERYTHING.
EVERYONE IS IN LOVE WITH IZZY, and why wouldn't they be? She's the bomb.

Honestly, I just love everyone in this share house.

I just adored these two books so, so much, and I'm so glad they exist.

On a technical sidenote, there's a lot of Russian conversation in this and if you don't want to be me and awkwardly google translate the parts you feel you should be understanding - there are translations of the Russian dialogue at the end, but as I was reading this in ebook form, I had no idea.
