The overall story was, for me, only okay. Neither here nor there, just a lot of sex and repetition between the characters. Aaron’s inner dialogue felt like a rambling stream of sex, boyfriend, sex, omg sexy and boyfriend, with very little else, and the dialogue between Joe and Aaron, while innocent in that friend-to-lovers kind of way, didn’t come across as entirely realistic. At times, I felt like I was hearing Piers Ryman’s voice but not quite hearing the words; like I knew he was talking but all I was hearing was the sound of his voice and not the actual story, which was a bit upsetting that I wasn’t able to keep my focus entirely on the book. Overall, it was a good performance and a decent friends-to-lovers story, but it lacked a maturity to it.
