4.0

3.75/5


This is not (as my partner would say) a ‘lovey-dovey’ book, but rather a book about a relationship. The primary focus of the book is how Kevin and Cedric manage to have a relationship in the midst of Cedric’s very serious OCD and Kevin’s coming-out.

This is a well-written book and touches on a lot of important points with honesty and wisdom. As a counselor, I am always delighted to see mental illness and therapy represented in a real ways and not just the E! tv drama version.

The book is fairly long. This ended up being one of my biggest struggles. There’s a lot of inner-monologuing that goes on. And it gets boring. The book follows a fairly good pace and there are enough events to make it interesting, but I was looking for more lovey-dovey and never really got it. In exchange I got some awesomely cute kid scenes and some truly interesting characters.

I strongly wish the scene wherein Vaughn and Cedric met was included. That would have likely raised my review to a true 4 outta 5.
