I didn’t care much for Mew/Bartholomew. And that was a bit problematic because we only have his pov throughout the entire book.
I don’t mind his social awkwardness, which can be endearing, but I just couldn’t get past how self-absorbed he is.
Adam was my favourite of the three men, a bit crude and very direct, but kind and considerate of Mew’s feelings. The same cannot be said of Mew, who doesn’t give a thought to how Adam feels or in any way tries to avoid hurting the other man’s feelings. To me it feels like Kyle and Mew just use Adam to spice up their sex life, without any talk or hope of deeper feelings, with Kyle subtly and steadfastly manoeuvring Mew into accepting Adam into their home and (love) lives.
There was a lot of potential for hurt/comfort here, but nothing much came of it, which I found disappointing. I had hoped that things would progress beyond the physical between the three men, but that didn’t happen. Or at least not as far as Mew is concerned. There are enjoyable moments in this book, and it is written fluently, so I do give it a three overall.
The narrator did a good job, giving each MC a distinctive voice. I was confused by his British accent though, because this story seems to be set in the US (“redneck”, “white thrash”).
