GOOD LORD.
This was so damn good that even though I was given the e-ARC, I had to buy my own paperback copy too.
As I told Kristen, this is the hottest fucking thing I've ever read π₯΅
Looking for spice? Odd Man Rush BRINGS THE HEAT. π₯π₯
Looking for sweet? Odd Man Rush delivers that too.
It's sweet AND spicy. It's heartwarming AND hot AF.
Need proof? Here's a quote evident of both:
"It's the attentive care in which he handles me, recognizing every sound and move I make. He doesn't just f**k me. He studies me, and gives me every single thing my body needs."
UGH.
I highlighted PLENTY more quotes, but I'll let you discover them for yourself π
And, let me be clear: while this is ghost-pepper-level hot, and endearing as hell, it's also MORE. It's about exploring oneself, finding parts of one's identity, exploring and discovering love, self-acceptance, self-love, found family, and living one's truth no matter how unconventional, no matter anyone else's negative views of it. And it's beautiful.
Kourtney, Jason, and Celeste are so in love with each other. The way they support one another in all aspects of life, the way they truly show and give care, it's just π©βπ³ π *chef's kiss*
If you're open to an FFM/poly story, give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed.
"To anyone who has fallen in love with someone who didn't fit the mold society created. Love is love." AππΌfuckinππΌmen.
Kristen, my friend, I'm so damn proud of you. π
5 gazillion stars! πππππ
β οΈCWs: homophobia, religious bigotry from a parent, transphobia, transphobic slur, discrimination, graphic sexual content

This was one of the most wholesome stories I've ever read. The way Kristen wrote this FFM-relationship was so perfect. It was beautiful, heartbreaking at some points and it learned me so much new things! Family is not everything you'll need. Sometimes your chosen family is even better π₯Ή
I wished I could read this book again for all of the things i felt throughout this story.
