Told from both perspectives, you get an up-close and personal viewpoint on just how they have both survived what they have gone through, and how they interact with each other, making their rough edges smoother. It also shows how it can be easier to give to someone else, rather than receive anything for yourself.
This is an emotional story that will make you laugh and feel sorrow as Charlie struggles with what he has going on. To be honest, I would have liked a bit more back-story about Ji-Ho and how he treated Charlie, but that may just be me wanting to see the train wreck before I get my HEA.
I am loving the Gold family and can't wait for the next book. A brilliant addition to the series that I have no hesitation in recommending.

Fin is special - in that he doesn't have a filter and is a literal thinker. This has led to some less than satisfactory 'dates'. Marcus finds Fin completely refreshing and wants to treat him the way he should be, not the way he has been. Throw in two mums who have their own views of the world, add a cheeky nanna, and you have a book to lose yourself in.
This was a great book. The way Fin takes everything so literally made me realise just how much we say without it really meaning anything. I loved that Marcus found the situation funny without laughing or undermining Fin himself.
Marcus and Fin are helped (and sometimes hindered) by a wonderful supporting cast. This is book three and it really makes me want to read books one and two -- if only to see what Nanna gets up to!
A fantastic story that I thoroughly enjoyed and definitely recommend.

Oh, what a story. Poor Chess. I can completely understand where he was coming from. He's worked so hard to turn his life around, but sometimes the doubt resurfaces that maybe, just maybe, he doesn't deserve all the good things. As for André, he loves Chess completely but is swayed by his mum to be away from him more often than not. I loved it when he took a stand and said 'enough!'
The group of friends play a big part, as you would imagine. Elliot and Win are still my favourites, with Chess and André close behind. As I suspected would happen, Ms Stevens is changing my mind about Spencer, and Wolf has learnt his lesson.
A fantastic addition to the series, this book focuses on truth and honesty, sharing the highs and the lows. I loved every word and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Parker is a guy with ADHD. He has learnt to deal with it, but sometimes, it makes him a bit scattered. Erratic, if you will. He feels down on his luck as his partner of 5 years has walked out, and then the guy he was supposed to be meeting doesn't show, but Parker has already arrived. Should he stay, or should he leave? Teo is instantly attracted to the younger man, and something about him makes Teo want to know him better. What follows is a loving story with a great connection between the two MCs.
I read this book in one sitting! I thoroughly enjoyed every word and loved watching the connection grow between these two. They are ably supported by the rest of the characters, and I would love a story for Pierce and Bailey! It never felt rushed, even though most of the events take place in just over a week. The epilogue was perfect and gave me the ending I wanted.
A brilliant addition to the series and HIGHLY recommended by me.
