ILYBSM: I Love You Both So Much by J.E. Birk, Leslie McAdam, Rachel Ember

4.0

So I did really enjoy this book but I did think it was a little too long and did drag at times. I’m not the biggest fan of a lot of internal dialogue that feels like it’s only there to drag out the plot, instead of offering more insight or forward movement.

I did genuinely enjoy all of the characters. I found each man to have relatable flaws but also each was endearing i their own unique ways. I also enjoyed several of the side characters. However, many felt like they might have been from other books because they were written as if we should know who they were already. I didn’t love that.

Jeb was kind of a dolt at times but he was such a hard worker and a wonderful friend. Adam was a bit pretentious but he would drop anything to help his friend. Emery was a bit of a grump but he was always willing to do what needed to be done. They all complimented each other well. I’m not sure how I felt about their big revelation talk because it felt a little convoluted. It still had an element of friendship that made it maybe to easy since Embry and Adam hasn’t spoken in 3 years.

The passion in this was very good but I wish it had been a tad more awkward just to add to the effect of Embry and Jeb never having been with a man in any way before. And I would think a 3 way would be kinda weird for anyone at first. But who knows.
