MM romance.

Devin and Rome had each other’s back until something happened between them which made Devin push Rome away. Now months later, Rome is still angry, drinking, smoking cigarettes and crack, having sleepless nights due to Devin’s betrayal. All he wanted was make Devi!’s life miserable and make him remember that he is here and he is chaos…

Both had very dark childhood trauma. Their relationship may be considered as very toxic. So beware before reading this. 

This story is chaotic.
There are some parts that didn’t make sense. 
In all honesty, Devin and Rome should have just communicated and D shouldn’t be a coward.

Their spiciness is messy & hawt.

Trigger warnings on this are no joke, this book is brutally dark. These are two incredibly fucked up characters, but these boys are perfect for each other. This is a fantastic take on hurt/comfort. Best gay dark romance novella I've read. I only wish this ever clarified the characters ages, I think they are in their last year of high school so parts of just how much they physically hurt each other felt a touch ick. I am just going to continue pretending they are for sure over 18, but really life has fucked both of them over enough that partaking in kink under 18 would be close to the least shitty part of their lives.
