Waiting For You

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 "Waiting For You."

["As a divorced man in my thirties with a throwaway job and very few friends, I admit that I’ve made a lot of bad decisions over the years. Rounding out the top of that epic list was allowing my son’s best friend, Quinn, to talk me into taking him on a two-week summer road trip…alone.

What was supposed to be quality father-son bonding time before Joshua goes off to college has somehow transpired into a battle of wills between me and his nineteen-year-old best friend.

Quinn may be young but he genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with me, something I’ve never experienced before, and it feels nice to finally have someone care. I mean, being friends with the kid wouldn’t be so bad, right?

But Quinn suddenly seems hellbent on flirting with me, and the way he looks at me is anything but friendly. My will to stay away from this sweet, attractive, and persistent young man is waning. With the two of us alone in a camper, in the wilds of Michigan…Christ, this is bad…very, very bad."]

This is advertised as low-angst. Low-angst my ass. There was soooo much mutual-pining and guilt and will-they-won't-they and I'm-too-old-for-him and please-don't-let-him-take-it-back and secrecy and broken moments and fights and god, I sobbed. So yea, low-angst...I'm not agreeing with that one. 

But honestly, NONE of this book would have happened if it wasn't for Quinn. He was persistent and stubborn and bold and knew his heart. He went for what he wanted, multiple times. He put his heart on the line, again and again. He knew that this thing between them was meant to be, and he was tired of waiting.

And this is officially the last Cora Rose book on my to-binge list (except for the Unlucky 13 series--I have a lot of authors on there that will completely complete the binge). Now what??
