I don’t remember if I saw Alex and Theo coming together as a couple or if this was a surprise to me, but I do like them together. There was potential for comparison between Elijah and Alex by Theo as well as a lack of communication but thankfully neither happened. I think this could be read as a standalone but you’d miss the history so I personally would not like reading this without the other two first.

I looked back at my review of Rocket Science and saw I wasn’t all that interested in Alex, but I quite enjoyed this story. Alex and Theo sharing entertaining banter and have off the charts chemistry that becomes hard to hide.

I really enjoyed the friends-to-lovers aspect of this story and Theo giving Alex so many experiences he missed out on as he grew up too quickly. When they decide to start a physical relationship, the feelings are already there…which makes the relationship work better in the long run.

I appreciate the low angst. Alex finds his strength in Theo and Theo FINALLY faces his feelings for Elijah.

There is talk of Holden and Jordy in the next one maybe? I guess we’ll wait and see!
