I loved the premise going into the book. It had all the qualities that I love in a book. Small Town Romance seriously you could never go wrong with it. I loved the romance between them but the story felt like there way so much going on. There was so many time jumps it felt overwhelming because it felt as though we missed so many points. For instance, Tristan and Sheilagh situation felt like we missed so much. It went from a little kid crush to all of a sudden he liked her. Even the situation where it felt as though he was mad at Luke for not wanting to come out but at the same time not wanting to as well. I don’t know I could have interpreted that wrong. I did the beginning of the book that’s what’s really giving this book a good rating. I mean how much Luke showed how down bad he was for Tristan was amazing. We got to really see the characters and connect. It wasn’t until the 6 month jump mark that really felt a distance with the characters bc we missed so much time with them. I mean 6 years flew by so quickly. Luke and Tristan are 2 broken and insecure people trying to love each other. As much as I would love them together they did need to heal for each other. They talked about the constant fighting or Luke not sticking up for Tristan we he needed him. It felt like they were on 2 different paths. There’s so much I can go on about that I didn’t like but mostly I did love the story. It was captivating and truly and enjoyable read for those who want a quick read. Highly recommend I would say there are some trigger warning for the ending but besides that it was a good read.
