This story was interesting. It felt like it had a lot of potential and I did grow to like both of the characters but there were some things that just fell a little short for me. I thought that there could have been a little bit more growth between our two characters in their communication and ability to express their emotions to each other. They did get better, I just thought it could have gotten further and maybe seen some of that development with conversations between them. Ethan and Wyatt both have some issues but they see and feel something with the other that continues to draw them back together. The story was interesting and did hold my attention the entire time. There are definitely plenty of sexy times, which makes sense given the personalities and age of our two main characters. It didn't feel like it was too much for the book but there were times it felt like they were using it as a band aid with their relationship and we really didn't see them fix that on page. Again, great potential with the story and characters and it was still entertaining.

Ethan and Wyatt's story was everything you'd expect from a New Adult book (with plenty of sex). All the hardships young people face in their lives, such as first love; college education and housing; losing your first love and trying to get him back; going wherever your dick leads you (and figuring out where your dick goes, and how) even if it might get you into real trouble; falling in love again and trying to arrange your life around that person and planning your FOREVER.
Book 1 was entirely from Ethan's POV. I liked him, he's a fun, open person, which is everything Wyatt isn't. Wyatt is quiet, he's hiding because of his past and also because he has Waardenburg syndrome, which causes hearing loss and pigmentation changes on the skin, hair and eyes.
I liked how they came together, even though it was a bit too fast for my liking, but that's young love I guess.
Ethan's ex, I'm sure the author wanted him to be the villain and lots of readers did see him as one. I didn't. I understood him... yeah, he could've handled the situation better, but you know leaving high school and your hometown behind is confusing enough even without a boyfriend to think about. Anyway. I was glad he didn't take up much space in the book.
I loved it, and wasn't sure what else was left to say in the remaining two books, but I went on. And I'm so glad I did, because book 2 was from Wyatt's POV, and I loved it more. I'm not saying that Wyatt's feelings ran deeper than Ethan's, but for some reason the author decided to lay it all out there in the narration, so the readers knew Wyatt's feelings, but of course he kept it to himself and left Ethan in the dark.
So I was gushing and swooning a lot while reading book 2. *-*
Book 3 was dual POV and all about maintaining a steady relationship. Ethan was tiptoeing around Wyatt, he thought Wyatt would bolt if he pushed too hard, too fast. They didn't want to separate for the summer so they found jobs and rented a shitty place with 2 other guys, so it wasn't a dream come true. They were playing house just for the summer. But Wyatt started to loosen up, it took him a long time, but he started to picture a future together with Ethan. I loved seeing Wyatt open up and smile.
Book 3 could've been a bit longer, there were time jumps I wanted to be filled in and I desired a more romantic ending. I also hoped we'd get to see more of Ethan's family.
I really loved the writing style and well... basically everything else. It was fun and upbeat. Reading my review it might come off as a melancholic story, I assure you it's not. :) You can read all 3 books in one go, it's like one long book.
Really enjoyed it. 4.5 stars

"His voice sounded like it had a hard time getting out of his throat. “It’s just, I can’t ever tell if you’re happy. And I want to make you happy with me. Any way I can.”
"It’s hard as hell loving someone who’s waiting—no, looking—for a reason to push you away. I don’t get why you want to be miserable when I just want you to be happy.”

Ahh this was great. Ethan and Wyatt’s relationship was so fun to watch blossom and for anyone into audiobooks, the audio for this was incredible.

It was a g guilty pleasure sort of a read for me, because of all the steamy scenes in the series. The story it self was not bad, but got lost in between physical stuff, at least for me. Would have enhoyed more in depth descripstions of Ethans and Wyatts thoughts and feelings. Loved that it wasn't too dramatic regarding Wyatts past and he wasn't secluded bad boy because of it.
