Whit by Cora Rose
DID NOT FINISH: 30%

This book rushed into the relationship and intimacy (of all types) with absolutely no buildup. It just goes from 1-100, immediately. And though Caleb is purportedly straight, he does all these things that "he wouldn't normally do" but does them anyway, and is just like, "Huh, weird. I don't normally like nuzzling dudes and cuddling them for hours at a time, or getting handies from them."

He gets taken care of by Whit in the beginning because he's sick, but even that's unrealistic. Whit drops everything for his roommate he barely knows and let's said roommate sleep naked on him for three days? No way in hell. No one would ever do something like that, because that requires a level of intimacy that a relationship creates, and the two of them had no relationship where that was built up or merited.

Speaking of the handjobs, Caleb is like, "You gotta fix this bro, you started it," and then Whit does?? But then every time Caleb has a hard on, he just rolls his eyes and gives him another handjob? The fuck?

This book needed so much more build up and merit for the intimacy that went on. It needed tension.
