Definitely my favourite book of this second series. It was a very emotional second chance story that made me cry a little, especially when the Secret Santa's identity is revealed.

The plot is a classic: two teeneager best friends, who shared everything, get separated when one of them has to move. They've both been unhappy until they reconnect fifteen years later.

I adored Milo, he's such a precious guy: he's talented, humble, selfless and he's the kind of person who makes everything and everyone around him happy.
Christian is more tormented: during his whole life he's never felt settled, nor with girlfriends, or with jobs. Reconnecting with Milo, loving him, it has made him open his eyes and looking for the right things.

What prevented me from giving a higher rate:
Christian disappointed me a little. He was careless with Milo's feelings and I can't believe that after all the time they spent together, he still had those plans. He should have thought about the obvious resolution sooner, definitely before talking to Milo.

I look forward to read more stories from Hayden Hall and to see what he has in store for the next year.

I received an ARC of this book from Neon Rainbow and this is my honest review.
