No Holding Back by Kate Evangelista

4.0

This was a fun, light read. I finished this in one sitting within a couple of hours. I really liked the characters. Both Nathan and Preston could be frustrating at times, but it was great to see them come together, especially when it was about understanding their passions in life. I really love swimming, so I was hooked from the start (even though the Michael Phelps fact was incorrect). I think the characters could have benefited from some diversity, though. This book was full of rich white people with more money than sense. It made for a good story, but I couldn't help but roll my eyes at their antics sometimes. I think it's refreshing to have contemporaries that aren't about the struggle of coming out or coming to terms with their sexuality, but about the fun, fluffy side of falling in love. This was just a fun read and I hope to see more books like this in the future.
