Crossroads

Here's Nicole Dyke's "Crossroads."

["Emerson
My mom thinks I’m spoiled. So what does she do? She ships me out to a farm in the middle of nowhere.
It’s supposed to teach me some sort of lesson.
It won’t.
The only thing that’ll come from this will be the small town of Kensley meeting its match.
And not just Kensley.
Him.
Jasper thinks he can best me? Well, he has another thing coming. I may look like a spoiled city boy on the outside, but I’ll be the fiercest competition this country boy has ever seen.

Jasper
He’s a spoiled brat. Who does this guy think he is, showing up in my hometown and challenging me in every possible way?
He has no idea who he’s messing with.
None.
I may be a little turned around right now, having lost my girlfriend, but I’ll get her back. And everything in my world will be right again.
Including him.
I’ll send him packing before he knows what’s happened. This city boy doesn’t stand a chance.
We’re at a crossroads now, him and me.
And only one of us will come out as the winner."]

These two were...a lot. They were both more complex and more alike than what's on the surface. They fought and hurt each other every step of the way until *bam* they were in love. It happened quickly, but it still felt organic and smooth. It was beautiful, watching them grow.

But did I sob during portions of this novel? Why, yes I did. 

So basically, another really fabulous and well-written Nicole Dykes book. ;)

Trigger Warnings: homophobia, chronic pain, disability, and more.
