Very very good story! A lot of heartbreak, pain, hurt, but also so much hope, love and, above all, healing.
For Eli and Warren was insta lust at first sight, but Eli does not commit to anyone, while Warren is so so deep in the closet, that it seems impossible for them to have anything other than a little fun, just for a little bit.
They can't resist to stay away for each other, though, and their fun together quick turns out into something more.
Seeing Eli falling in love for the first time was beautiful. And Warren, he's such a precious boy and he also falls so hard for Eli.

They calm each other's internal turmoils: Eli starts dealing with his grief by letting himself getting close to Warren, while Warren's self harm urges seem to fade away when Eli is around him and shows him how good they can be together.
Their lives are intertwined in a twisted way, though, and they'll have to find peace first in order to have a lating relationship.

It was a beautiful story: I would have loved to see more of them together in the future, I hope we'll get to see them again in the next books.
