Lily Morton masterfully writes another great love story.

Henry and Ivo. Ivo and Henry. Their lives are intertwined and they are bound to each other and as close and they can be since they were 15. Best friends, ex step-brothers. In love with each other without the other knowing.

This is a beautiful and emotional friends to lovers story, in quintessential lily Morton’s style. Banter, snark, emotions jumping out from the pages and grabbing you by the heart, making it impossible to put down the book and not to fall completely and utterly in love with Ivo (let’s be honest, we were all already in love with Henry from his very first appearance in Rule Breaker).

I love how unconventional and not-at-all sappy their love and relationship is (*spoiler alert* the love declaration and the final scene).

Lily Morton has a gift of entrancing us with every emotion-dripping, humour-laden story she tells and Joel Leslie is a master of bringing every character to life in a unique way.
