My Best Friend's Brother
by K.C. Wells
This book was just pure sweetness. There is no drama, no conflict, no jealousy or insecurities: this book is basically as low-angst as can be.
Of course, I prefer my books to be a little bit more angsty than that, but if that is not your cup of tea, then this story is absolutely perfect.
Thus, whereas I was missing some more big moments, others might like the easy-breazy nature this novella's got going on.
However, aside from the angst part, there was also some development missing for me: although I could see the connection between these two guys very clearly, I would have preferred for them to have a little bit less of an insta-love going on. As it was now, Casey was already in love with Rylan years before the book even started, and Rylan practically fell in love with Casey the very first time he saw him again in this particular book. So yea, that was definitely a bit fast for me.
It does need to be said, though, that although their feelings were already present way too fast for my liking, their relationship did go at quite a slow pace. They did not rush into anything and they actually didn't get together until rather late in the book.
I also really love that they truly seemed to get to know each other (even if a lot of that happens off page as well). Their bond and connection is definitely there, I just wish it would have been shown a bit more explicitly.
And, of course, I would have personally also loved a bit more drama in the relationship rather than the incredible sweetness that could make your teeth ache if you get too much of it.
I also just want to get off my chest how much I disliked the 'brother' in this. He was the world's worst best friend ever and completely overbearing when it came to his younger brother. I do not quite understand why Rylan was even besties with someone who thought so little of him and spoke in such a degrading way towards him, but hey, whatever. I guess the guy sort of redeemed himself in the end. So happily ever after, right?
