Damn. What a letdown.
I’m sorry, but I honestly found Kingston very annoying. Not only was he dense, self-centred and dramatic, his reaction to Cam telling him he’s been in love with him for as long as he can remember pissed me off. And not the part where he says he’s straight, so he doesn’t feel the same. No, that’s normal. The part I couldn’t stand was that after this revelation Kingston constantly asks questions like “what’s your type?”, “do you think I’m hot?”, “can you look at my dick for me, please?” and the kicker: “can you have sex with me so I can practice my sexual skills, because my girlfriend said I suck?” LIKE WTF. How selfish and narcissistic can you be to ask such questions when you KNOW your best friend is in love with you? God. It pissed me off. His whole vibe was just unlikable: I kinda hated the guy. And then when he started getting angry at Cam for not sticking up for “gay people”? Fucking excuse me? Kingston suddenly wants to play hero and just because Cam isn’t suddenly also up to that and would rather stay in hiding, little straight boy Kingston gets all self-righteous on him? Urgh. Fuck off, honestly.
And genuinely, I just had no idea why Cam was so into Kingston. He keeps saying he is like “sunshine” and “a light in the dark”, but I didn’t see that at all. All Kingston did was be selfish, demand things from Cam and be generally stupid as hell. I didn’t see much of a deeper bond between them either. Kingston literally doesn’t even admit his romantic feelings until the very end. Cam honestly deserved so much better. I mean, even though he had zero personality; at least he wasn’t an arse. The whole thing was just odd.
This book was genuinely repetitive, overly simple, boring and even frustrating. The writing was pretty damn bad too. I didn’t like it at all, which is a shame since I was actually looking forward to reading this.
