4.5

I could’ve sworn I read a TJ Alexander book before but I haven’t so this will be my first (& not my last)!

THIS BOOK IS SO DELIGHTFUL!! I was sucked into the storyline of Eli returning back to Florida after years of being in New York and running into his former best friend & HS boyfriend. But what makes their reunion different is that this is after Eli transitioned. This is the 2nd book recently where friends have reconnected and I just love it so much!!

Nick is such a sweetheart! He always loved Eli since they were young and seeing him now, it just brought back all those old feelings again. Eli was unsure how he felt only because he did not think Nick was anything other than straight. I absolutely loved Nick’s relationship with the mother of his child. They had some meaningful conversations and it just seemed so healthy especially for Zoey (daughter).

I did the audio for this one. I was not familiar with the narrators Aden Hakimi and Feodor Chin but thought they were distinct enough to tell the difference when it was their POV. Between TJ’s writing and their narration, the book went super quick and made it really enjoyable to listen!

I look forward to reading more from TJ especially A Gentlemen’s Gentlemen!
