Where We Left Off (Middle of Somewhere, #3)
Roan Parrish
Leo Ware may be young, but he knows what he wants. And what he wants is Will Highland. Snarky, sophisticated, fiercely opinionated Will Highland, who burst into Leo’s unremarkable life like a supernova… and then was gone just as quickly. For the past miserable year, Leo hasn’t been able to stop thinking about the powerful connection he and Will shared. So, when Leo moves to New York for college, he sweeps back into Will’s life, hopeful that they can pick up where they left off. What begins as a unique friendship soon burns with chemistry they can’t deny… though Will certainly tries. But Leo longs for more than friendship and hot sex. A romantic to his core, Leo wants passion, love, commitment—everything Will isn’t interested in giving. Will thinks romance is a cheesy fairytale and love is overrated. He likes his space and he’s happy with things just the way they are, thank you very much. Or is he? Because as he and Leo get more and more tangled up in each other’s lives, Will begins to act like maybe love is something he could feel after all.

0 0Ugh! The beautiful and terrible angst in this story! I feel like I was on the edge of crying half the time, but also cheering Leo on as he discovers himself and makes new friends. Friends who make him finally feel at home with himself.
I couldn’t help but be mad at Will through so much of this story. Like Leo, every time I let my guard down with him he would do something to dash my good thoughts about him right out of my head. Once he finally (finally!) opens up to Leo and starts to share his feelings I fell in love with him as much as I was in love with Leo. This story is from Leo’s POV and, while I don’t have a problem with that and believe this is really Leo’s story and not Will’s, it had me questioning if Will was the right person for Leo. Of course, I’m sure that is by design. I had to be as in the dark as Leo for this story to work as well as it did.
Although Will is a bit older than Leo, this is a sort of coming-of-age story for them both. It’s beautiful. It’s sad. It’s hopeful. Ultimately, it’s encouraging for those who feel asea. I’ll admit this book is not for everyone. Will is hard to like and does some truly despicable things. Yet by trying to understand Will, I believe it will expand your view of the world and what others go through.
