Review
It was the first day of April and I decided to read all day long. That morning I decided to start reading this e-book I found on sale. I immediately saw that this book was short and before lunchtime I already finished it.
This book reminds me of the heartstopper comic series. One guy is already out and the other isn’t. The same goes for this story. But I got the same feeling from this book as heartstopper, which was heart-warming. It was cute and I immediately liked the characters.
I was kind of sad that this only had 200 pages (e-book version) and I wish it was longer because I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the storyline and the writing style. I think I liked most of the things about this book. I am trying to think about what I didn’t like about this book. Well, it was too short.
I saw on Goodreads this was book 1.5 in the ‘Boys on the brink’ series by Jamie Deacon but I am not so sure if all of the books are about Davey and Adam. I think the other books are about other guys who are falling in love. But I will put those books on my list too.
If you are looking for a cute and short book that will lift your mood, this is the one. Especially if you also loved the Heartstopper series.
