This I Promise You by Jordon Greene, Kalob Dàniel
4.0
3.5
This was a lot heavier than I was expecting, but I feel like the authors really did so good at covering those topics just want to call it out at the top for anybody hoping for a light fluffy romance!
What worked for me:
• the discussions around sexual assault. It was handled with the care it needed. I loved seeing Paul go to therapy and seeing his growth throughout the book. Just A+!
• how Easton dealt with his MS. It felt so authentic to how a 19 year old would handle the situation.
• the friendships! I love the little found family they created!
• the way Paul and Easton hates each other in the beginning but kept internally saying how cute the other was. I eat the stuff up!!! It was really cute as hell!
What pulled down the rating from 4 stars for me was the swooney love declarations. I know this is a me thing, but I just don’t love overly sentimental declarations of love. I know a lot of people do so this is totally probably not an issue for most people! I also wish there was a little more build up between hate to love bc it was one of more favorite parts of the story.
Overall I think this is a good read and I think people who like the swoon factor turned up will be really into this one!
