Honestly, such a surprise read for me. I wasn’t expecting it but I enjoyed it so much. I will say I am upset about lack of content warning but at the same time, it can sometimes make you almost not read a book. 

I laughed a lot more than I thought I would.

Reading about addiction of any kind can be difficult. However, reading in this way was so wonderful. Gage is so lost and confused but open at the same time. I loved that he tried and that he realized the most of his success would come from trusting and loving himself. 
It was a hard role but he did it. 

Alexei was a bright and complicated person. I loved how he just was open and honest. He could have been so jaded  because of his childhood and I would have blamed him but he was a complex silver lining. 


They both learned something from each other. They were brave and vulnerable with theirselves and each other. 

I am happy they had a great support system outside of each other and within one of another. 

 This was a great read because it was truly friends to more.

I enjoyed it so much.

Umm let’s start with I am not overall a fan of this book and it took a lot of time to get into. It’s not personal because normally, I adore both their stories and their humor. 

The characters just didn’t sit right. However, I am glad I read it. I am glad I finished it. 

The past characters and the future with Wren laying the ground work. 

I will say I am so proud of Remy and Sanden looked at a problem both with their own past and how it affects their mental health as well as their relationship.

That was the best part, they took a moment to step back and work on theirselves and help find better communication skills for the future. 

This provided the best part for a future and healthy relationship. 

The ending was so sweet.

So, this was my first type of book in this genre. So, for me it took a bit to get into. I will say that it’s definitely me. 

However, around the mid chapter 12 and up it got really interesting and I couldn’t stop reading it. 

I enjoyed Danny hope and no matter what he stood up for himself and what he wanted.  Wyn was adorable and so sweet.

I love how insecure they each were but open. 


Also, Edin was a fantastic type of big brother and friend!

have read most of the dmc books but for some reason, I missed this one. I laughed so hard and so much! 

I love Art and Joey. I love that the chats happened and Art knew his friends so well. 

I think it’s great as well that we got updates for Molly and a small tease on Not Dating Material. Also, the rest of the books in this series. This was so great!
