Started out as the dramatic story of one teenage boy neglected by his family and another physically abused by his father. I thought I was in for a typical [a:Suki Fleet 7919609 Suki Fleet https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1393916444p2/7919609.jpg] or [a:Garrett Leigh 5893561 Garrett Leigh https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1514037053p2/5893561.jpg] angst fest, but then the book went completely batsh*t crazy off the rails at about 25% We're talking terrorism, incarceration, espionage, vehicular homicide and then some. Once I stopped expecting anything vaguely resembling real life I got completely sucked into the story of the two MCs. In fact I actually worried about them when I had to put the book down. They were so adorable together and although one of them suffered slightly from the “I'll push you away for your own good” syndrome, he was usually able to get some sense knocked into him. Featured two fairy godfathers who deserve their own story, and hilarious sex scenes that use the type of snarky humor that felt completely appropriate for two cheeky adolescents/young adults who love each other madly but couple their expressions of affection with crude or offbeat remarks. Because guys. Needed to take a break and read something light and fluffy afterwards, but totally worth it.
