3.5

Spontaneously, I decided to buy this book as an ebook and then proceeded to read it over two days. It was certainly fun! But I also felt like the romance was developed waaaayyy too quickly, and I sometimes found myself wanting more conversations or a closer look at certain things in their lives - like Kip's job/school search, for example - instead of just smut every other page. It got a bit boring at times. Plus, Kip was a very infuriating character in the second half of the story, refusing to understand what was at stake for Scott and playing the poor victim despite having gone in the relationship knowing it would have to be kept a secret.

But it was a quick read, had (mostly) loveable characters, a surprising little amount of actual homophobia, and I also loved that Scott wasn't outed by anybody but was able to come out when he was ready.
