Book safety, tropes and tags down below.

Parker consists of two guys that are both struggling a little bit, their shared found family, hurt/comfort, an abusive ex boyfriend, and the whole thing is topped off by a bi-awakening. It’s pretty rad.

I appreciate that, even though Parker takes a moment to work through his thoughts and feelings about being attracted to a man for the first time, it’s not drawn out and super angsty. He’s pretty chill about the whole thing. He just wants someone to love that he can have a quiet and predictable life with, which is perfect for Trey.

Trey’s ex is emotionally and physically abusive. He stumbles into his newfound family by accident shortly after running away, and even though he’s obviously affected by his trauma, the story is pretty sweet from there.

Parker is one of the earliest MM romances I ever read, and I remember thinking the spice was really hot. Over a hundred MM books later, and it was still pretty hot
