I love this book. I want to say that first, but I had a few issues with 2 things. I love how they tackle a lot of difficult topics in a nuanced way in this book. At the same time I thought it was a bit hypocritical at times. The way Trisha sort of sexualizes DJ by reducing him to his body parts (biceps but still) in her name for him on his phone gave me pause. Particularly when we see that it makes DJ uncomfortable when women do this from his perspective. Second, I enjoyed the story but I’m not fully sure why Trisha fell in love with DJ. To me, it almost seemed like she fell in love with him for his food and good looks. That was described a lot more than why she actually fell in love with him from what I could see. She of course saw that he was a good brother but it wasn’t really described how she saw the things and fell in love with those things enough to me. That being said the writing was well done, I loved getting to know every character and despite the 2 things I mentioned I left happy the couple got together.
