This book is the next installment and introduction to the 2nd Goode brother, Caleb. Note that it's pretty important that you read The Anti-hero first. There are a lot of tie-ins and references. I was excited to read this but I wasn't sure exactly how I would feel about the on page cheating. I owe Sara Cate an apology for doubting her. This book is fantastic.
Caleb and Briar seem to always be walking uphill. They love each other, but there are always things blocking them from truly letting go and fully becoming who they want to be. Getting together in college was a fight, marrying and trying for a second child was a fight, Caleb's jerk of a dad continuing in their lives was a fight. They never could get "there."
Enter Dean, a friend (cough cough) of the estranged and youngest brother, Isaac. Dean is an escort at Adam and Sage's club and very VERY sure of himself and comfortable in his skin. Due to some difficult circumstances, Dean is offered the apartment on the property that Caleb and Briar own. He reluctantly accepts the gesture and it turns out to be the best thing to happen for all of them.
Dean helps Caleb and Briar to be more comfortable communicating with one another what they want and need. Somewhere in the mix of all of this, the 3 fall for each other and have to decide what is worth risking to be together.
There is so much in this book and it hits the spot perfectly.
