Synopsis
Jasper Quigley is tired of being everyone's favorite sidekick. He wants to become the hero of his own life, but that's not going to happen if he agrees to help out his former best friend turned king of the jocks, Milo Lionetti. High school was miserable enough, thanks, and Jasper has no interest in dredging up painful memories of his old secret crush.
But Milo's got nowhere else to go. His life is spiraling out of control and he's looking to turn things back around. Step one? Replace the rare Odyssey cards he lost in an idiotic bet. Step two? Tell his ex-best-friend exactly how he feels—how he's always felt.
Jasper may be reluctant to reopen old wounds, but he never could resist Milo. There's a catch, though: if Milo wants his help, he's going to have to pitch in to make the upcoming children's hospital charity ball the best ever. But as the two don cosplay for the kids and hunt for rare cards, nostalgia for their lost friendship may turn into something even more lasting...

Cela dit, si vous voulez une romance qui met le consentement, l'écoute de l'autre, etc. au cœur de la relation, foncez. J'aurais juste préféré qu'il y ait d'avantage de péripéties, et que l'histoire tourne plus autour de Odyssey, comme c'était le cas dans le 1er tome.
Une lecture douce qui commence sur un bon rythme, avec des personnages prometteurs. Mais très rapidement la quête au cœur de cette histoire est mise de côté, pour se concentrer sur la romance, et ça devient assez répétitif. Milo et Jasper passent beaucoup de temps à décortiquer leurs sentiments, à se rassurer ou à culpabiliser, mais ça reste assez lisse, et leurs réactions sont souvent en miroir.
