This was a whole different vibe than the previous books in the series, a lot softer, romantic, emotional, serious. Nothing wrong with that but it got a little slow at times. I would've thought there would've been more angst with the two year crush and dad issues, but it was pretty low key. I thought Chris would've been a bit more personable from the vibes in the other books, I still liked both the characters it was just a bit slower and therefore a little meh. Though, the smut scenes were put in pretty perfect places within the story and were just the right amount without being too much, which is writing talent that's overlooked sometimes. 
I'm not a huge fan of writers who do excessive descriptions of body reactions/emotions like crackles on skin, feelings in chest, air thickening, etc etc because it can be a bit much and loses my attention. Just a stylistic preference

June 2024 Reread & Audiobook: 

Chris has been crushing on his hot science guy from afar since starting college, while Aiden has been focused on nothing but surviving his pre-med courses. After a chance encounter, Chris finally talks to his long time crush and finds he's better than he imagined. Aiden has to put school first and doesn't have time for anything else, but can't help the freedom and easiness that Chris makes him feel. Chris has the power to break through Aiden's walls if only Aiden would let him. 

I thought Aiden and Chris were really sweet. Chris is so patient and loving with Aiden, he's such a simp honestly but he truly cares about what Aiden wants and needs. Aiden can't help but fall for his easy charm. Chris shows Aiden there's more to life than how he's living, and gives him something of his own to fight for. They have so much in common from their love of music to their sense of humor - they really are a perfect match. 

This has a bit of a different vibe from the previous FU books. A little more serious and emotional than fun and silly, but I'm a fan of A.M. Johnson so I enjoyed it. I think it's funny that in my previous review I said I didn't love her style, just goes to show that tastes and opinions can change! I think coming off the other FU books it was a bit more of a shock, but on its own it reads a lot better. I enjoyed revisiting this FU book, and can't wait to get to the rest!
