Flirty and sweet

Joe and Aiden had a connection from the first moment, but for fear of rejection and of Aiden's brother, it was never explored. That is, until a New Year's kiss changes everything.

Joe was such an interesting character. He was super open and honest until he had some complicated feelings, and then he put on a mask and tried to act like everything was fine. His relationship with his parents was super sad, and I hated how it was resolved. Him with Aiden was a different story. He could or simply didn't feel the need to fake anything. He opened up and shared his feelings, his fears and his love with Aiden since the first moment, evolving into a romantic connection.

Aiden was a nineteen year old that in the eyes of his brother, never grew up. But he was his own person, he was brave even while being shy, he took the chance to act on his crush and fight for who he wanted, and in the end, it paid off.

There was some minor drama with Nathan and Joe's parents, but the couple was solid because the love they felt was real. I did want them to say 'I love you', but I guess seeing them think it was enough.

Thank you to Nisha and to Joelle for the e-arc!!
