Don't usually review books that I finished but this needed one. I actually enjoyed the first part of the book. The conflict between Luke and Zach was understandable and was believable. Once they got together and started their "friends with benefits" thing that isn't a thing, I found their reasons so annoying.
I understand their journey of grief is different but does it have to be said and made a point of? I'm pretty sure we didn't forget that Luke is grieving and is having a hard time dealing with it. It doesn't help that Zach didn't have the emotional stability that Luke needed.
Everything resolved rather fast with a lot of gratuitous sex sprinkled in there. For people that keep saying they didn't want a relationship, they didn't do a very good job of staying away from each other. Maybe its the predictabiity of the ending that annoyed me more than anything. Still reading the third.
