Ich bleibe dabei. Ich liebe diese Reihe 🥰 was diese Bücher für mich besonders macht, ist, dass hier Charaktere erschaffen werden, die einfach so liebenswert sind, dass ich sie nicht verlassen will 🥹
Ashers Geschichte war so schön zu lesen - und wie er sich langsam öffnet, da musste ich an einigen Stellen ein paar Tränchen verdrücken 🥹
Kole ist wieder ein neuer einfach wunderbarer Charakter und genau das richtige Gegenstück zu Asher.
Sehr schön finde ich auch immer die Aussage, dass Etiketten bei LGBTQ nicht wichtig sind 🥹❤️
Tropes
– coaches son
– forbidden vibes (though they aren‘t actually forbidden)
– friends to friends with benefits to lovers
– secretly hooking up
– guarded MMC
Since Asher has been introduced in the previous book, I‘ve been curious about him, and one thing is clear: for me this has been the best book of the series so far, and Asher the most interesting character. Characters like Asher who hide behind a facade and don‘t let anyone see their real feelings have all my heart. And I like how Kole doesn‘t give up on him no matter what, and that he doesn‘t let him drive him away. They start out as friends and study partners and slowly become more, and more important to each other. I also kind of fell in love with Asher’s family. He and his older brother have to take care of their younger siblings (and yeah, there‘s also an unresolved trauma there), and each of them is so cute. Due to Asher’s older brother Westly being the MMC, I hope to get to know the kids better in the next book🫶
However, Kole and Asher really got to me, and their story had me on my toes. I also like how Koles perception of Asher changed throughout the book when he learns more about his background.
“Kole …” He cards his fingers through my hair and tugs me up to look at him. A weighted silence passes between us before he whispers one word. “Mine …” I nod. “I’m yours.”
4.5/5⭐️
