This book is a horrible depiction of gay men, and a horrible depiction of a "romantic" relationship. All this story is, is a detailed record of how one MC tells the other (repeatedly) that he doesn't want to hook up with him, to which the other MC somehow knows better and continually harasses the first MC until he changes his mind.
Exhibit A:
"I wasn’t stupid. I knew about sixty percent of him didn’t want me to follow him back here, but that other forty percent? That was begging me to make a move."
Exhibit B:
“You don’t give up, do you?” he said.
“Not when I see something I want.”
“Even if they don’t want you back?”
A smile slowly curved my lips. “Oh, they want it.”
The worst part is that it actually works and Solo's terrible behavior is actually rewarded.
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone (especially anyone who likes to read about healthy romantic relationships), and I definitely won't be continuing the trilogy.
