Everything for You

4/5

That was so cute, I loved it! Both Oliver and Gavin were amazing. Grump and sunshine, opposites attract, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, age gap... I love all of these.

I wish we learned more about Gavin's past throughout the book, not just in the 90% mark. And I wish we saw more siblings, not just Viggo. But I LOVED how sweet Oliver was with Ziggy!! Even when it happened in less than a perfect time for him and Gavin hahaha.

Freya and Aiden have a daughter!!! Ngl, I thought they'd name her Lyra, after the constellation they talked about during the honeymoon (and the gift Aiden gave Freya for their 10-year anniversary!). That name was perfect for her! But she's so cute and amazing!

So many weddings! Willa and Ryder FINALLY got married and so did Frankie and Ren! Ngl, I'd prefer more details but I loved that Frankie and Willa are now officially Bergmans. Amazing.

I love seeing the couples from the previous books in this one. The time jump in this book scared me haha, but it works! It's much more interesting to read about a 24 year old Oliver than, let's say, 18.

I'm glad that there was no third act breakup at 90%. Instead, there was a reconciliation. I'd prefer if there would be no breakup, but Gavin needed this time to work on himself.

“Everything for You” by Chloe Liese is a delightful read that kept me hooked from start to finish. As someone on a romance novel streak featuring gay characters, this book stands out as a fun and engaging read. The charm of this novel lies in its well-drawn characters that you can't help but root for. I identified with both characters; their struggles and triumphs resonated with me personally. Liese's storytelling is effective and heartfelt, making this book a must-read for anyone who enjoys well-crafted romance novels.

4.5 loved it!

I really like Chloe writing and I love the representation included in these books. This was however the book I enjoyed the least in the series.

Oliver is a sweetheart and I wished he fell for someone who swept him off his feet and immediately treated him more kindly. The story felt more like an insta love than Enemies-friends-lovers and I had difficulties feeling their connection besides the lust.

Regarding the writing, there were several words that were repeated to an extreme and I wish someone had addressed this in the revision process (e.g: Gingerly appear at least 4 times in the book, 3 of them in subsequent paragraphs and bigotry appear at least 2 times in similar circumstances. In both cases no synonym was used in between the use of those words).
