Only about 35% of this book I enjoyed. The rest made me want to punch my kindle. There was more about fighting, publicity, soccer and coming out than their relationship itself.

I really enjoyed Zev and Gavins relationship. How they both gave what the other needed. Gavin holding Zev through his withdrawals in rehab was really beautiful. Gavin started as a stranger, hired to keep Zev safe from threats against his life. Gavin instantly saw the pain that was held so deeply inside Zev leading him to his addictions. He truly saw him at his worst and wanted nothing more than to be there for him.
and..
Maybe someone can answer this for me... Why does Gavin have a problem with Zev dropping f bombs as if they don't fall out of his own mouth constantly?
