kirbyj_ 's review for:

Squared Away by Annabeth Albert

4.0

---

this was one of the first books i read with an ace/demi mc and it was beautiful to see.

whilst i think these mcs are less realistic as a couple than others in the series, i do still love this book.

Spoiler

my main problems were that whilst in private isaiah was so understanding and compassionate with mark about him coming to terms with his sexuality and then the second they were in public and mark didn't acknowledge him in the way he wanted he got pissy. and mark was so pushy and certain that he knew better and never communicated with isaiah and even after saying he'd give up control he'd go on to be controlling with something else.
