Summer of You by Joelle Lynne
1.0
So, here I was browsing on GRR when I saw this cover, read the blurb, saw the kinks and instantly requested.
Straight up, this book is not kinky. Not in the slightest. One single sentence of "good boy," and such for each round of sex does not equal praise or degradation kink. So that already made my little kinky heart sad because honestly I was hoping and expecting for some spicy kinky times. Whomp whomp. The sex was alright. It wasn't spicy though. Maybe... 1? 1.5? But then again, I read some pretty spicy shit so my scale may be skewed.
I have to say though, I loved Chase. I adored him as a character and honestly wished he'd have moved on with his life, gotten therapy, and started dating someone else. He honestly deserved it. Because when it came down to it, the reason Nathan gave him for just... peacing out, was stupid as shit and I would have left his ass in bed, put him on block and never looked back. You're saying, the reason that you left the love of your soon to be life, was because you just wanted to fuck around?
I-
I don't get it. Like I literally did not understand his reasoning. This author could have come up with ANYTHING but... what? Also, why did they never speak to each other? 4 years ago cell phones did exist. Are you saying they met up for several summers in a row, turned a friendship into something *more* and didn't bother to exchange numbers? Alrighty then. I guess?
Also, how did Nathan's mum know about the passing of Chase's parents and didn't bother to let it slip even once? Like, "oh that poor boy you were best friends with when we went to see Drew for the summer? His parents died."
Ok. We get that Chase has a cat. Because Oreo is mentioned 50 times. FIFTY. TIMES. It's like the author copied and pasted that Oreo came to see him as soon as he opened the door, wound around his legs all while purring. He then opened a cupboard and grabbed a can of cat food and fed and watered her. Literally. Every. Time. He. Goes. Home. What about her litter box? What about playing with her or keeping her active? Literally nothing else but feeding her and that she purrs. The pets do not need to be brought up five bajillion times when they play zero part in the plot.
Can we also talk about what the hell is going on with the daughter? Because everyone who saw them interact thought they were banging. Drew even hinted at it. Then slips her a note while she is WORKING and I thought it was his number or something like "hmu when u get off bb
