***3.75 stars*** 
 This is the unconventional story of how Zack and John. The ups and downs they experience as they traverse their newly budding relationship. 
 Zack has a thing against relationships/love and keeps himself guarded. John, on the other hand is lonely and wears his heart on his sleeve. So, when John comes to the wrong conclusion, not purely his own fault mind you; he almost puts an end to their newly formed relationship. Honestly, this is a new relationship between two boys in their 20's. I feel like they have a lot to overcome like class gaps, maturity and so on. 
 The two have amazing chemistry together. Seriously, some of the phone sex scenes were hot and inspiring ;) I really do like and appreciate Zack's personality; he uses his wittiness not only in jest but as a buffer as well. With that said, I believe that the sex scenes carry not only the MC's relationship, but the story as well. I really didn't feel that Zack and John felt anything deeper than lust for each other. 
 We are given a small glimpse of Zack's family in the beginning, and if I can be honest I feel like there should have been a bit more in this area at least in passing. I really do feel for him, because I do understand wanting to find your own way even if it goes against what your family may wish/hope for you. Zack just wants acceptance and to live his life as he sees fit. 
 On the other hand, the only thing we know about John is that he is an only child and he comes from money. It would have been nice if the author gave us more of a background here; to give us more of a connection. 
 At the end of this book, IMO is really just the start for Zack and John. The author gives us a HFN, leaving it open for the reader to make a decision if the budding relationship is one for the history books.
