So, that part of the story didn’t resonate with me and felt out of place, so I would suggest reading that book first. There was a side story about Jasper’s cousin, Sammy, and I was not aware that Sammy had a book prior to this one. I felt the dialogue at times was too stiff for my liking and some conversations didn’t flow naturally.
It’s more difficult for Jasper to accept his feelings for Sutton, but when the men finally acknowledge what’s happening between them, their need for each other is incredibly intense and that part of their story was easy to fall into. The men live in a small town where homophobia is prevalent and neither of them know of any out residents, which is one of the reasons it takes the men longer to embrace their attraction. They have dated and hooked up with plenty of women over the years, but they never felt the need to settle down with any of them. Now, in their 20s, their bond is tighter than ever. Sutton lost his entire family and Jasper and his parents became even more important to Sutton. The story opens with Jasper and Sutton as young boys and we really get a sense of their deep bond through the years. But the men have shared a million tiny moments that make up their best life and Jasper has to stand up to the people who won’t accept him to make sure Sutton is forever by his side.Ĭhildhood best friends and a double bi awakening will always call to me and this book did just that the moment I read the description.
It should be the best time for the men, but Jasper’s family and the townspeople are not accepting and Jasper and Sutton now live in secrecy as Jasper is not ready to come out. Jasper has to reexamine his friendship with Sutton and, when he does, he realizes that he is in love with Sutton as well. When Sutton starts putting distance between them, Jasper’s life gets a whole lot dimmer. He lives close to his family, he has a thriving business, and his best friend Sutton is the one constant in his life. Jasper loves his life in small town North Carolina. But being so close to Jasper and not being able to have him they way he wants is slowly killing Sutton day by day. Sutton is the first to put a name to what he is feeling, but if he tells Jasper, he could risk losing the one person he needs in his life. They are so much a part of each other’s lives, but they never realized there was so much more to their relationship.
Now that they are older, they jointly own a business and live together. When Sutton’s family was killed when he was 12, he relied on Jasper even more.
Jasper and Sutton have been best friends since the age of five.
