I’m obsessed with this book, I read it over a week ago and still haven’t stopped thinking about it.
Owen is tattoo artist who is finds change very difficult, so much he lets the man he’s in love with walk out of his life to pursue his own goals. Now, in celebration of his best friends pregnancy, Owen finds himself on a week long cruise with his friends and the very same ex Jacob. The pair are forced to evaluate lingering feelings and what that means for their separate futures.
I feel like I found a lot of myself in Owen. I’m not good with changes and the unknown makes me want to curl into a ball. It made me empathize with his mindset, but also made me realize how much that can be a hinderance for growth. I adored Jacob and his feelings for Owen. The chemistry between them was so natural that it was easy to see how they became a couple in the first place. I think the best part even was how their next steps were handled. Without giving too much away, it was such a mature decision on both their parts that It was clear to see how they’ve grown in their time apart.
Thank you so much to Netgalley for an eARC, all thoughts are my own.
