Hot Potato by Allison Temple

4.0

While there were several subplots in the book left open, the book is a good read. When the book opens, you meet Avery, who is on his own for the first time in his twenty-six years. When he tries to cook dinner, his sweet potato sets off the fire alarm which brings the fire department to his door. The way the story develops feels natural, and the way Avery and Linc's relationship develops over time with the start of their friendship, which leads to something more, is wonderful. But there are several subplots including Linc's roommate's friend, Derek, his father, and the outcome of Avery's Uncle Theo's business that are left hanging with no true resolution. Also, the decision for Avery and Linc to move to Atlanta, when the book is obviously set in Seacroft, left me confused. The relationship is great, but the filler is a bit unnecessary. Other than that, a good read with wonderfully unique characters!
