My Summer of Wes by Missy Welsh

4.0

This book was surprisingly hot for an NA. I would definitely call it an erotica, which I wasn't expecting. I was expecting more of a coming of age story, which it was also but not the focus.

This was also very romantic. Wes and Mal were great together and I loved how they took care of each other. Sometimes Mal felt silly because Wes babied him so much, but I thought it was very sweet. Especially during the scene after Mal got beat up. It's because they started out as friends and those kinds of romances are just the best. I also really liked seeing those who were sympathetic and helped them, such as the paramedic, the cop, and the nurse.

I am glad that this story covered more of a time period than I had at first expected, and we got to see a bit more of what became of them and how strong their relationship grew. Especially when you read the short Spring Fling story along with it. My only complaint is that I wish Mal had told his parents. I know that they would have been assholes about it, but I still feel bad for Wes. He didn't mind, but I find it hard to believe that it didn't bother him at least a little.
