There are too many new books, new-ish books, old-ish book, and older books to pick from (far too many). So I decided to cross off more backlog from my list (or slowly cross off an author from my to-binge list). Here's Cora Rose's "Until Him." It's the first novel in her Inevitable series.
["If there’s one thing I’ve learned this year at college, it’s that things aren’t always what they seem.
I’m Logan Lewis. I’m popular, charming, athletic, and all the girls love me. Yep, I’ve really got it made.
But when I find myself in danger of failing my chemistry class and losing my sports scholarship, I know the only person who can save me is the smartest science tutor on campus.
Theo Reign is brilliant. He’s also cold and antisocial, moody and mean. He looks at me like he hates me, but touches me like he wants me. There’s something just beneath the surface that draws me in. His secret pain mirrors my own, and I suddenly find myself craving him. I can’t get enough of this mysterious and intriguing man, and though I know what we’re doing is weird and probably toxic, I just can’t seem to let him go.
I never thought I would want another man.
Until him."]
Another day, another Cora book that made me cry. Yay.
These two are probably (no, not probably) a little toxic. But neither of them are neurotypical, neither of them have had a real (healthy) relationship, and neither of them have felt a chemistry such as this before.
If it wasn't for Logan's stubborn behavior and all around tendency to avoid any other serious topics in his life (such as his brother), Theo would still be alone, scared, afraid. Then again, same goes for Logan himself. Mental health isn't cured by love (or dicks), but it gets easier when you have a support system, when you feel loved/supported.
Not to mention all of the fluff and heart-eyes and cuddles. And cat toys (all the cat toys).
Trigger Warnings: grief, trauma, anxiety, bullying, self-doubt/hate, and more.
