I loved this book! I loved them and I loved my boys! I kid you not I was smiling from ear to ear by page 4! I love him and everyone else in the book!
My only qualm with this book was just that it was very sex-focused and I just wasn't in the mood for that, however, I'm glad the author took the subject with sensitivity. I thought the dialogue from the characters about the subject was pretty realistic yet still stayed true to how fluffy these books are. Oh also, I feel like Charlie's a bit too hard on his mom. She's only showing concern and I don't think Charlie was willing to see her point of view. I thought his mother was pretty reasonable with her request. Also, as much as I love Nick and Charlie I do think they breach the lines of codependency sometimes. I'm glad the book indirectly addressed that when Nick chose a college that was about 5 hours away. I feel like they rely on each other a lot for comfort which is great, but they do need to realize that they can survive without one another.
Can't wait for book 6! This series and the show have my whole heart! I love them all so much!❤️
