Hail Mary by Nicole Dykes

4.0

"I want to be everything to him. I’ve never felt anything this intense before." - Benny

"I don’t want to hurt him, but I don’t know how to avoid it." - Rowan

This is the second book in the Big Bend Serie (a small town mm Serie), the first book (Red Zone) is about Dallas, that is Benny's best friend. You don't have to read that book to understand this book, a lot of information about them is explained through Benny's POV.

Rowan grew up with a dad that wasn't really there for him and is very hateful towards queer people. Benny grew up in an accepting and loving household. This book is very painful but also beautiful, with important conversations. I'm glad that Rowan learned that there isn't anything wrong with him and that he found loving people around him and I'm glad that Benny found love and that he has Dallas in his life to talk about his feelings.

I received an ARC copy of this book. Thank you so much!!
