Come Fly With Me by Felicity Snow
2.0

This just had too much going on. I was prepared to give this three stars, because I wanted to be nice, but the ending just really went off the rails. It went bananas. And not a good way.

Wesley and Cooper broke up nine years ago. Wesley’s parents keep setting him up with losers so he lies and says he’s dating Cooper again even though they don’t have contact lmao. So Wesley offers to pay Cooper for ONE fake date dinner with his parents, but the parents then invite Cooper and his mom (who is dying of cancer) to a week at their beach house. I honestly liked the first few days at the beach house. It was cute. But it’s all building up to having them talk about why they broke up to begin with back in their teens. They broke up because Cooper was falling asleep during their dates and he felt bad and felt like a bad boyfriend????? Lmao. So then it’s like flashbacks of their teens and present day and they make up in the rain which was kinda cute but then it was flashbacks to them having advanced sex as teens in lingerie and talking kinks at 16??? Uhm. And then there’s some weird romantic gestures in front of family and they feel each other up in front of family and the family members cry …. No stop please. Then they leave the beach house promising to date and communicate and Wes finds out Cooper is being evicted bc of the time he took off the the beach house and the mom gets sick and they break up again? Then Cooper apologizes and they get back together and the mom dies and leaves him life insurance so he can get his pilots license.

I’m tired. It was messy. Hard to follow with flashbacks and present day. I never connected with the MC’s because I felt like I never even knew them. I was more invested in their first romance as teens tbh. I would read that book and probably like it (without the kinks and stuff lol). I should’ve known since this wasn’t on KU and I had to buy it on the authors website ugh. The writing was good, but the plot and pacing wasn’t.

2 stars for taking place in Orlando because books are never ever set in my city lol.
