Honeysuckle by Aubrey Taylor
5.0

I don't think I have the words to describe how much I love this series. It's so fucking beautiful and Aubrey is beyond talented. She has the ability to rip your heart out and then put it back together with a little forhead kiss. She covers some incrediby tough topics (check tw) with so much care and love.

Her characters are messy and real and you will fall in love with every single one of them.

Before Honey Pot I said I was nervous for what would happen to Dean. Aubrey promised me she would take care of him and she absolutely did.

Dean is so soft and puts so much pressure on himself to be perfect for everyone else. The way Josh saw him and tried to look after him even when he was convinced he didn't want friends.

Then we have Josh. Trying to use anger and tough guy persona just to get through the day. I wasn't sure what to expect from him but I am now a proud member of the Joshua Logan Protection Squad. Watching Dean slowly break down his walls was beautiful. He learnt his triggers and respected them even when it was hard.

The slow burn is slow and the progress from hate to love felt so natural. The small ways they show up for each other and how patient they are with each other *chefs kiss*.

Found family is my favourite and Aubrey is the Queen of the trope. I love them all and seeing them all interact is so heartwarming plus they make me cackle. Cael cracks me up. Aubrey is hilarious when she isn't ripping your heart out. Be warned though because that damn Nest makes me cry every time. It's an emotional rollercoaster.

I cannot wait for Silas' book because he deserves the world after putting up with The Nest and their antics.

I read an arc
