Midnight by Bryce Oakley
3.0
This book was not what I expected. I was quite skeptical of it when I first picked it up but the story definitely grew on me.
This year I'm finding myself constantly waiting for well anticipated books to be published so it was nice to finally read one that was already out but still just as great.
Midnight has some of my favourite tropes in it; age gap romance, celebrity dating as well a closeted MC - when done well it creates a perfect balance. I also enjoyed the relationship the MCs had with the supporting characters and the important roles those characters played.
This was funny, a little bit angsty & had the right amount of romance in it.
Normally I would say this book is on the shorter side length wise but it actually worked for this book. It was sort of fast paced but at the same time it wasn't. The only thing that lacked for me I'd say is the sex scenes. It was too brief and the emotions weren't necessarily translated into the actions during these scenes, it kept me wanting more and feeling disappointed but nonetheless, overall I enjoyed the book.
