Best Friend's Father by Devon McCormack
4.0
This was my first book of Devon McCormack and maybe it was the last one.
I don't give five stars easily, five is reserved for those extra amazing books, and for me this is one of those books. I needed a few chapters to get in the mood of the book, the alternating POV can be confusing at the beginning when you don't know the character voices yet, but then ,when you get the rhythm, it's one of those books you can't stop reading, both characters are captivating, their story is believable, I liked that it's real, I liked their approach to the "Ty" issue, I like the smooth way they navigate they're relationship the doubts and the problems. And then you look at the end of the page and see that you only have 10 pages left, and a major plot issue just appeared, the reader is not stupid so there are two options, either the author is going to end the book very quickly and badly, or the story doesn't end in this book, but that is not possible because you read the synopsis and you went to Goodreads and in no place we are informed that this is a series. I read this book for two reasons: I liked the blurb and it was a stand alone. I didn't wanted a series right now, I have that right, so I feel very deceived by the author, he didn't need this, the book is good enough for him to be honest with his readers, it's a shame.
This way I think I might get my own closure to Eric and Jesse's story and move on.
