My first love was my brother’s best friend. A lead singer in their band. A picture of rugged perfection. And a drunk soul mate who couldn’t commit. My second love was an arrogant baseball player. A player in every sense of the word. A smooth-talking, reliable best friend. And a chance at something beautiful and true. The problem with having a first and second love? That would be loving them at the same time. My story isn’t some sexy triangle. It’s exquisite agony. Fate gave me two men to love, but none of us knew which one I could keep.

If you do not like angst, heartbreak, or triangles, this book is not for you. It’s very possible that this author is not for you.
I know when I pick up on of her books that my heart, at the very least, is going to be twisted and bruised and left achy. She does angst and complicated better than nearly anyone else out there. I must admit that I parse her books out. She is not an author that I binge. I gotta have some time to process and breathe.
In some ways this book gave me Carnage vibes, older brothers friend with a difficult childhood completely falls for younger sister at first sight. But he’s not good enough for her. The boys form a band and hit the road. The drinking and sex are too much to resist and a heart is broken. Or maybe both are. The girl meets someone new and the boy must change because he needs her
This book is not as tragic as Carnage but it did twist me up. Both of the guys have pluses and minuses. There are circumstances that sort of shift her focus. I cannot say that I enjoy back and forth in a book but I have known it to happen in life so I can handle it.
I liked it and enjoyed that there was a solid resolution for all the main players. Life is rarely simple and these book shows you complications.
Stop reading if you don’t want spoilers of the ending!
Aiden deserved better. That’s it. That’s the review. The ending of this book was easy to guess from the beginning but I had hope that it would end differently.
