This was an interesting read for me, because I really liked our two MCs, Kevin and Cedric. I especially appreciated how the two of them negotiated Cedric’s OCD and Kevin’s complicated family dynamics. I thought the author took a sensitive and nuanced approach to these characters and their burgeoning relationship.
Unfortunately, this thoughtful approach can’t be said to describe the entire narrative. There were times when secondary characters and situations were overblown to the point of absurdity, because it was convenient to the plot for them to be so, and it was especially jarring as a backdrop for Kevin’s and Cedric’s lovely relationship. In the end, I wasn’t sure how to feel about this book.
