Jamie is struggling with university, money and depression. The last thing he needs is for Brett—the guy who left him four years ago—to walk back into his life. Yet it could be just what he needs.
Ever since Jamie left him, Brett has been running away from commitment. But when he meets Jamie again, he’s forced to re-examine every aspect of his life.

Excerpt

 Holy shit. Jamie was kissing him. Brett’s head told him to back off and walk away, but his body remembered those lips and how much he’d once enjoyed having them pressed against his own. His body wanted to lean into the kiss and respond with four years’ worth of regret. For a few precious moments, he let himself give in to desire. His heart hammered against his ribs, desperate to escape his body and reclaim what it had lost. His fingers tingled as he wrapped an arm around Jamie’s shoulders and held him tightly, his thumb making small circles on Jamie’s shirt.

Then his brain kicked into gear again. What the fuck was he doing? This was the guy who had ripped his heart out in the worst possible way. Besides, Jamie was clearly at least half-gone. What they were doing was a mistake at best.

He pulled away, breathing heavily as he stared at Jamie, whose pupils were blown wide.

“You’re drunk,” Brett said in the most matter-of-fact tone he could manage.

Jamie curled his upper lip and turned away, shaking his head. It was dumb for Brett to follow him, but he did it anyway. They’d been best friends long before they’d realised they were attracted to each other. Brett had always looked out for Jamie, back when they’d lived next door to each other. Those instincts kicked in.
“Let me walk you home.”
Jamie stopped and rounded on him, fists clenched, teeth gritted. “Don’t pretend you give a shit.”


Review
I loved this MM romance novel, has to be my favorite one of 2017, even though it was an emotional ride.
Brett and Jamie will have you happy, mad, sad, and sometimes even confused.


Brett and Jamie have a past and now a present. But, can these two have a future with everything that needs to be said?

Brett is fighting guilt from something that happened with Jame four years ago, that he has always thought was his fault. While all along, Jamie has been fighting his own guilt for choices he made and has been angry with Brett for the past four years because he didn’t understand why in his time of need Brett just disappeared.

Four years later they meet and start again. Can they make it through all the struggles they will have to face? When the only way to face them is to confront the past and everything they have kept within, ‘together’!?

This is my honest unbiased review.🙂

    I can't wait to see how the author handles a character with depression.
