Where We Left Off

Roan Parrish — 2019

Leo Ware may be young, but he knows what he wants. And what he wants is Will Highland. Snarky, sophisticated, fiercely opinionated Will Highland, who burst into Leo's unremarkable life like a supernova... and then was gone just as quickly. For the past miserable year, Leo hasn't been able to stop thinking about the powerful connection he and Will shared. So, when Leo moves to New York for college, he sweeps back into Will's life, hopeful that they can pick up where they left off. What begins as a unique friendship soon burns with chemistry they can't deny... though Will certainly tries. But Leo longs for more than friendship and hot sex. A romantic to his core, Leo wants passion, love, commitment-everything Will isn't interested in giving. Will thinks romance is a cheesy fairy tale and love is overrated. He likes his space and he's happy with things just the way they are, thank you very much. Or is he? Because as he and Leo get more and more tangled up in each other's lives, Will begins to act like maybe love is something he could feel after all.

1.5/5 I'm so damn disappointed about this book. This story had a lot of potential, because the last two books were good, but I have the impression that the author was fed up with this series, because he chose the worst way this story could go. I highlighted more things didn't liked than I liked. The two most important things you need to know first: Leo deserved better, and Will was an asshole. And the rest: one Will was so damn mean, I understand he's been through some things in his life, but so has Leo. And guess what? Leo didn't act like a d*ck and Will did. "You’re the one who wanted to switch places!” “No, I mean…. Will, come on. Please. I know it’s maybe a joke to you, but I really haven’t ever done this before, and you’re kind of making me feel like shit.” I opened my eyes a crack and looked at Will. He looked away. “Like, I want you you, not sex you.” “Sex me,” he repeated. It was Leo’s first time, and I would basically cry if someone was that mean for me. It’s not even the worst fragment. two He was described as so handsome that almost everyone fell in love with him at first sight. He thought everyone was with him ONLY because of how he looked. Narcissistic much? That was also the reason why he didn’t wanted to be with Leo, because he was sure Leo thinks the same. Which obviously was not true. three I don’t know why Leo wanted him honestly. He might be handsome, but that was basically all he has to offer. "I can try not sleeping with other people,” he went on, “but I don’t know if I can promise it forever. I don’t know what will happen in the future. And I can’t fucking take it if you leave me again because you were making us something in your head that we aren’t.” Seriously? and in the last chapter he said that he loved Leo. Sorry, but if you love someone you won’t cheat on them. Period. four The plot was boring. five I wanted Leo to end up with someone else. Sadly, the worst book in the series.
