2.75⭐️ The story was just okay. Really only wanted to see the story of Charlie and Tom. Cole and Tanner I felt nothing for. This was an audiobook listen, the narration for it was horrible. Extremely monotone and lack any personality for the characters.

4.75⭐️ Tropes: -Slow Burn -Autism Representation -Friends to Lovers -Football Coach/Teacher -Bi Awakening -Size Difference -First Times -No 3rd Act Breakup ”Oh fucking shit, he doesn’t just have a crush on a man, he might be falling in love with one. I was so excited for Jason’s book, and it didn’t disappoint. Jason is the well loved and favorite football coach at his old high school, Emerson is the new English teacher. Jason has such an outgoing personality and is friendly to everyone. Emerson is nervous about this new chapter in his life starting a new job in a different town that he grew up in, he runs into Jason on his first day at the school. What he doesn’t know is that he is about to become best friends and more with Jason. I love the representation for Autism. It’s well written as to where it’s not his whole personality but shins a little on it and shows the struggles that people with autism face, but still shows them as just as normal and human as anyone else. Sometimes when characters are written with some type of disability they are made out to be as if that’s just who they are as a whole and not just a piece of who the person is. Absolutely loved this story and I cannot wait for the next King story. **I received this as an ARC, and this is my honest review. Thank you so much for this opportunity!**

3.75 ⭐️ I did enjoy this book but I wish there was a little more to the characters. Without Cooper they are kinda just there not really much depth to them.

3.75 ⭐️ I overall enjoyed this book. I knocked it down some for the cheating part. Not one of the tropes I enjoying read for the most part. And this is one, just because you are confused about your sexual orientation doesn’t give you the right to cheat and drag the person on. Other than that big part I enjoyed this. I like the relationship between Jaehyun and Raphael. Was an instant obsession really on Raphael’s end after seeing Jae. Seeing how they both navigate through the issues they faced to be together was both nice and annoying.
