Slowest of slow burns, loaded with hurt/comfort, with probably the purest characters I've ever come across. Which is why I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped, I think. No one is as perfect as Jake was in this book, and even Rye, who struggled through his trauma the entire time, never did anything wrong. I like flawed characters because it makes them more real, and Jake and Rye were so good and perfect for each other that it just didn't feel realistic. The sweetness was also off the charts, which for many readers is a great thing! But alas, I can only tolerate so much.
This was well written, and I really liked the hurt/comfort early on. The slow build of trust and their relationship was just right. This is the perfect book for someone who loves trauma recovery with LOTS of sweetness and fluff, with only trauma-related relationship struggles, which are promptly addressed and dealt with in a healthy way.
