Unwritten Law by Eden Finley
3.0
I'm half torn here. I liked all the MCs, but I didn't really get the purpose of the plot. Anders was attacked a few years ago, and ever since, he can't handle confrontation, so while he dates and hooks up with plenty of guys, he can't handle breakups, so he has his twin brother, Law, do the breaking up in his place.
Law is a really nice guy, and I didn't get his motivations, either. He's always known he was bisexual, but because his Anders was gay, Law, for some unfathomable reason, so sex with men as "Anders' thing", and so he pushed it all down his whole life. Huh? WTF? Seriously?
Until Anders calls him, mid freakout, to do, or break off, a blind date, but then Law meets him, and for some crazy reason, goes home with him, to try his big bi exploration.
And so starts a big old mess, where Law, pretending to be Anders, hooks up with Reed, while Law, as himself, becomes friends with Reed.
There were SO many times that Law could, should have told the truth, but he never did. It wasn't fair to anyone, especially Reed, who, if you really want to be technical, never consented to have sex with Law, he always thought he was having sex with Anders. Everyone would be up in arms if it were Anders were suddenly sleeping with one of Law's old girlfriends, while pretending to be Law, and we all know it. How is it any different because it's two guys?
I'm cautiously hopeful that the next book will get Anders together with Reed's friend, Brody, and if that's the case, I'll read it, but if not, I very well might skip it.
