This book centers around Max , Maggieโs brother from Sem who was a glaring homophobic and bullied his brother for being gay . So when i found out Cora was a doing a redemption arc series for these brothers i thought nah. No way. Maybe this is when i give up on Cora. But like the Cora raccoon i was (i would literallyeat read anything she writes) i decided to read this and know how she would pull it off. Look i hated Maggieโs brothers so much. I swore i would not forgive them or see them redeemed in my eyes.
Well guys, i am currently painting my clown face while writing this because it took one chapter and he was instantly forgiven. Only Cora . Look i tried (if you know me you know i can hold a grudge towards characters) so when i tell you that it took nothing from me for him to be forgiven i mean it.
Max was so beautifully open minded and NEVER let hos preconceived notions hold him back even when he had opinions. He started doing โgay research โ to understand his brother because Maggie cut him out of his life permanently. He proved himself beyond words, worthy of redemption. He never fell back ok his old ways even when I expected hom to. I cried a few times okay! I felt so proud of him.
Alongside him was Beau whom he met at a gay club. Beau helped him navigate the โgay worldโ๐ and helped him understand it so he could make up with his brother ๐ฅน. Sparks flew along the way and they fell in love -albeit backwards๐คฃ.
Maxโs growth was so profound and has proven that my love for Coraโs writing and her characters is insurmountable.
Loved all the Sem and Maggie cameos (Gosh i love them so much๐) and I am beyond EXCITED for Coop and Matt (Me thinks thatโs gonna be my favorite ๐คฃ) Canโt wait for Coopโs shenanigans and Mattโs panicky tantrums๐
This book had me swooning and tearing up numerous times and I wasnโt even surprised by how much i loved it. Love how Coraโs characters give is the best kinds of feelings.
Except You is a great redemption story and i recommend ๐ฉท
