The One Decent Thing

A SOLID 3.5

A fairly low angst tale about two young men who lived a through horrible parents and a very traumatic experience and yet somehow managed ‘find' each other.

I liked the unfussy writing and how the characters read true to their age and the time & age they live in. Maybe Aidan's time in jail seems a bit glossed over but the story isn't about that part of their story. I liked how it didn't turn into a whole song & dance about ‘Aiden suddenly discovered he's gay' and instead on how Sebastian & Aiden make the journey from their past to the present they deserve.

Oooof this one was rough. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about ex-bully & his victim becoming a couple, but yeah this ended up great. Super sweet and loving. Watching them go from walking on glass around each other to partners was beautiful.
I wasn't always a fan of the assumptions they made and at times lack of communication, but I'm happy with where the book ended.
