Corbin Wale had me transfixed, and lingered with me for days afterwards, and yet this book lacked something essential to keep me with the story and characters. This was easy to listen to, and the narration was fantastic, but to be honest, it didn't hold my attention like other books from this author. The narrator is my favorite and it was easy to differentiate the MCs based on how he voiced them.Ĭonflicted - wanted to love it but couldn't It’s worth reading but it’s like a 3 instead of a 5 just because the first two books were so hard to live up to.

This book was a dialed down version of their goodness. The first two books were riveting and it was special to witness the inexperienced MC having the relationship and physical relationship for the first time and their partner being super patient. But this book is nowhere near as good as the first two books. I won’t listen to book 3 because I don’t like the narrator (though he’s a great actor) so I cannot compare it. Is this an opposites attract type of situation? This story is cute with angst and goes with the series theme of one MC majorly lacking in social skills and relationships. After pranking each other several times, they start hanging out. Zachary is a bit odd socially awkward and rigid whereas Bram is more of a dreamer. After moving into the neighborhood that goes all out in terms of Halloween decorating, Bram meets his neighbor, Zachary, who wins the decorating competition each year.
