As a bonus, we’re introduced to Pax’s extended friendship group, promising plenty more relationship drama by Neuhold for us to enjoy. Like the scientist he is, Elijah knocks down every barrier Pax throws between them, giving readers a sweet happily ever after. Alas, Pax feels like he’s taking advantage of Elijah and already carries the baggage of not being great at relationships.Įxcept relationships do work when both parties are on the same page, and these men have more than explosive chemistry going for them. They are genuinely friends first, and it is only when Elijah seems interested in dating that Pax acts on the chemistry between them.
Neuhold particularly twists this trope by immediately making the friendship between Elijah and Pax one hundred percent believable.
The older brother is reasonably oblivious to the unrequited crush, but he lays eyes on BFF and realizes he’s not the forgettable nerdy teen he once was. This story bends the trope by having the brother urge his sibling and BFF into a friendship now that they live in the same city, though he has no idea that the BFF has had a thing for older bro since they were much younger. I’m not terribly interested in the “falling for the brother’s best friend” trope, but I’ve enjoyed previous books by this author and wanted to keep enjoying their work.
