Okay, so I have conflicting feelings about this book. Did I enjoy this? Yes. Yes, I did. Did I eat it up? Absolutely. The story is lovely and super emotional. The characters are layered and have depth, and I like that the relationship has bones since its evolution spans over 20 years. I LOVED the childhood chapters at the beginning. And I liked how the demi rep was portrayed since there wasn't really vocabulary for that during Easton's formative years. Where my biggest issue lies is Wyatt. Not so much his character, but how the author portrayed the gay best friend pining for 20 years and always available for the supposedly "straight" best friend. Wyatt's life was at Easton's beck and call, but not in an intentionally hurtful way if that makes sense. It's just a trope I get annoyed seeing. Everyone's sexuality journey is different. I just found it so hard to believe that Easton didn't develop any stronger feelings for Wyatt after living together and raising a child together for 10 years, but it wasn't until Easton saw Wyatt having sex with another man that he realized his feelings. If it had happened maybe a couple years into their living arrangement, maybe I would believe it more. I like a good slow burn that makes sense, but this was the slowest slow burn that was unnecessarily slow. It would have felt more believe if their journey was AT LEAST 5 years shorter, and then we got more time to see them settle into their romantic relationship. ALSO, what was the point of the whole Becca shipping Wyatt and Easton plotline. It didn't feel cute, it felt cruel. She knew Wyatt's feelings towards Easton, and recognized Easton did't fully understand his feelings for Wyatt, but still inserted herself between them. But she was rooting for them? It made no sense. All that said, I still liked this, I just feel very strongly about the thing I didn't like, so it's a solid 4 stars for me.
