The Summer of Us by Lily Morton
2.0
I believe that this was Lily Morton's first foray into MM Romance. And it shows.
If this is the first thing you read by her, maybe you can't help but notice the almost erasure of bisexuality, misconceptions about gayness, abusive use of high profile brands and luxurious environments to denote that the characters are rich (achieving instead ostentation without taste, IMO).
If you notice all this, don't give up on the author, because her following books of the genre are infinitely better; her later books are delicious, in them the humor and the feelings that are already in The Summer of Us, are dazzling. To the point that Lily Morton is my most new favorite of mine and an auto-buy author to me.
