ARC Review ✨️ 
☆Jase and Lucas☆
Whew, this was full of emotions!!! My heart broke a couple of times while reading this 😭 Jase is struggling with a father who refuses to accept his son is gay while also dealing with losing his brother in such a tragic way 💔 😢 I cried so much during some of his story. Lucas is out already but still deals with the backlash of being an outed football player. He's also dealing with some past trauma. His story bought out so many emotions as well. The romance between them was so beautiful, and I'm so glad they got the ending they both deserved! Once again, Brooklyn Cate broke my heart with her writing but managed to stitch it back up by the end of the book.
