booksafety 's review for:
Beautiful Boy
by Skyler Snow
Book safety, content warnings, and tropes & tags down below.
It was strange having sex in a new way at my age, but I wanted to try. For him.
Another good book by Skyler Snow. I really enjoyed the MCs interactions. They were snarky with each other, and not like the ‘typical’ daddy/boy dynamic you often see. Aaron is a service submissive, so he got as much joy out of taking care of his daddy as the other way around. I loved that part.
Red smiled and I melted. What would it take to have that smile directed at me all of the time? What would I need to do to hear him call me a good boy again? And why the hell did I want that just as much as I wanted to choke him?
It seemed like Aaron had struggled with drug abuse in the past (cocaine), but we didn’t really learn a lot about it. It is definitely present in the book, but I guess I expected it to be a bigger part, because I kept waiting for the drugs to be a bigger problem. Not that it necessarily needed to be a huge part of the book, as there were other important things going on, but I guess I got it in my head that Aaron was going to be quite heavily addicted.
Overall though, I thought those bits was handled well and with care, and a good example for how hanging around with the wrong crowd can drag you down, even if you don’t actually want to partake.
Nodding, Aaron glanced up at me. "You're not so bad. I mean, you're a jerk, but you really have a soft side, huh?" I pressed a finger to his lips. "Don't ever say that shit out loud again."
