    "Way and Will, Will and Way… Two halves of a fucking whole. Always."
  


Beautiful and at the same time heartbreaking story, The Lost Boys duet is about two broken and lost men who somehow found comfort and love in each other.

Will and Waylon are true soul mates, since they were young their souls belonged to each other. Their relationship went through a lot of stages, they were best friends, strangers, lovers, but even in all the years when they were apart, their feelings never changed. 


  
    "Waylon McAllister—my first best friend, my first heartbreak, my first in so many things"
  


They are everything to each other. Their love story might be long and heart-wrenching, but trust me these boys will steal you heart at the end. 


  
    “On one condition. You need to promise me something in return.” And to him, I say, “Anything.”
spreading his hand over my bare chest, right over my heart. “Keep this beating.” I still. “Just keep your heart beating for me, okay?"
  


I guess I can only dream to find the love they have. 


  
    “I feel bad for those who never find what we have. But I feel even worse for those who do and never let themselves love as much as I love you.”
  


It's the perfect story for those who love found family, amazing side characters (who will get their own books), angst, childhood soul mates, and unforgettable characters.

You'll probably ask why I didn't give it 5 stars? The story suck me in from the beginning, but I thought I'd be a little more emotionally attached to it. The length of the book, to be honest, could also be changed. In my opinion, if it was 50 pages shorter, the story would not lose any meaning, some chapters or situations could be shorter or simply mentioned.

I mentioned the amazing side characters and yes, I totally fell in love with them. Mason, Shawn, Ivy, uncle Reggie and my precious boy Jeremy. Reggie won't get his book, but he got his own happy ending, which I'm extremely happy about.

The fact that these books were a debut shocked me, because I can't remember the last time I read such a phenomenal debut. Jessie Walker is an extremely talented writer and I’m planning to read all of her future books, but (don’t shoot me) Jeremy and Mason might beat Way and Will for me. I just have a feeling they will be my kind of couple. I probably highlighted every possibly moment they were mentioned in the book. I’m already in love with them, and since I read the first book in the series they are constantly on my mind. The angst, tension, story and everything about them, is and will be amazing, I just know it. I can’t wait for the next books!
