This was written like a bad fan fiction and girl I love fanfic! The book explored so many topics in a short time that when it got to theΒ deep stuff, it felt insensitive. The plot had so much going on it got confusing. Plus I felt like the bigotry from the side characters and even the MCβs was never properly dealt with? Nor with the care I expected. But I still enjoyed some of the poetic parts and will definitely be playing Sonic Flight with my gf!Β

π Writing. Direct, not flowery
π About. Set under the sweltering heat of the Arizona sun, two unlikely coworkers Max and Jordan must work hand in hand in order to earn enough to keep Jordan's house.
WARNINGS: Rape, Racism, Homophobia, Sexism, Animal Cruelty, Mental Disorders, Parental Neglect, Addiction
π Likes π
- Character development between the leads
- No miscommunication trope; emotions were more or less made known and the characters actually talked about things instead of bottling them up and exploding
π Dislikes π
- Chemistry between them was flimsy.
- Some issues were brushed over (Jordan's obliviousness to the racial disparity between them, Max's aggressive way of dealing with Jordan's wavering confidence)
π© Overall Thoughts π©
Definitely something that isn't an easy read. It's not just a mere summer romance (which I first assumed it to be) as it deals with some pretty heavy stuff.Β

Hi if I have to say I have a brand of books, it's slightly romantic, lgbt+, and deals with emotional issues realistically. This hits all of those, well, and made for a very very good read.Β
