I was provided this book as an ARC through NetGalley by Atlantic Books ahead of the publication date and this is my honest review:
Overall Bored Gay Werewolf was an enjoyable and interesting read. The cover and title really caught my attention and I feel it fits the wild story inside. It was quite fun while covering themes such as toxic masculinity and how insane the self-improvement and coaching industry are. Brian was such a messy character but I loved him for it and I enjoyed him stumble through trying to figure himself out and realise who really mattered in his life. I'm always a sucked for found family.
Only surprise is I was for some reason convinced this would be a stand alone so was caught off guard when the ending was approaching but the story wasn't done. I'm not too sure about the plot twist at the end honestly but I'm still going to read the next one when it comes out!
