Another Isla Olsen series for y'all with The Goode Life (another series about another set of queer brothers). The second book in the series is "Web Of Lies"
["Jesse
My little brother is getting married and I couldn’t be happier…Well, maybe I could if I hadn’t just been dumped by the boyfriend I thought was about to propose, kicked out of my New York apartment, and, worst of all, lost one of the pediatric patients under my care at the hospital where I work as a nurse.
With the current sh*tstorm that is my life, who could blame me for going a little overboard on the cocktails at the bachelor weekend in Vegas?
Me. I could blame me. Especially when I wake up with the hangover from hell and the memory of marrying my arch-nemesis, Webster Goode, in a ceremony caught on camera by the reality show Real Vegas Weddings.
There’s only one clear path forward: get through my brother’s wedding, get an annulment, and get back to New York and my normal life. All without anyone finding out what Web and I did in Vegas.
But it turns out correcting that big mistake won’t be as easy as I’d first thought, and keeping our secret from the Finchley gossip machine could be damn near impossible…
The truth is, the more time I spend with Web, the more I start to realize there might be a very thin line between love and hate…"]
It starts off with a pretty damn relevant #LegallyBlonde reference, then it proceeds to a pretty epic game of gay chicken, and then ends with a pretty interesting FaceBook post (or series of posts--which, I mean, is actually really, really, really hilarious--the Love & Luck series had a family group chat, which make me literally LOL every chapter, and the Goode Life series has the FB posts, which again, make me LOL, a lot).
Either way, I didn't think you could top "Clean Slate" (Book One), but damn, Isla did with this one. I mean, honestly, the misunderstandings and peer pressure and confusion over sexual identity. Hot fucking damn.
(There were also some really fun references to #Friends and #Buffy that I just loved and found totally relatable).
I want more of this series and more of this town and more Goode Life lovin', but *sigh* I must wait and be patient.
