I'm a little conflicted about rating this book.
I loved the plot, the second chance, best friends to lovers, hurt/comfort tropes, especially the last one because I think this author always does a great job describing those kind of feelings (I adore his series From The Ashes).
i loved the main characters too and how their story developed from their friendship to something bigger and I also understand that Travis didn't want to come out as a 20 years old athlete: there was no one out in his field and he felt lost and confused.
But, and this is a big but, why didn't he come out after his big win at the US Opens?
I understand that being in the closet was a mindset he couldn't escape from, but he had a wondeful, lovely, supportive family and he couldn't even be honest with them. He also had a fantastic agent, who became a great friend too and yet he kept all to himself.
I'm not talking only about coming out publicly, I'm talking to confide in his parents who loved him inconditionally and could have supported him all those years.
I don't like the fact that he hurt Ash twice and that it was Ash the one who did the first step and reached out to him.
I loved this story, the sex scenes are emotional and perfect and the epilogue was very beautiful, but there was no groveling and no begging for forgiveness and honestly I'm not so sure Travis deserved Ash's love.
