I get that to make them the central characters of this story they needed to be transformed into characters for us to love, however, I think that both characters were force molded rather than exposed, understood and transformed. Baz and Elijah both have some pretty unlikable characteristics as portrayed in the earlier books in this series. I think that this was an intriguing but tough couple to tackle a story about. It felt like there was *a lot* of stuff tackled in this one book though - maybe too much. (I had to seek out Black Butler as a result of this book.) I appreciated the addition of Lewis/Lejla and the continuing expansion of awareness/education about the multitude of lgbtq issues that people, and particularly youth are up against. I also was quite amused by the observation towards the end of the book by Elijah that their relationship has kind of an identity crises as they have compared themselves to so very many different cinema couples by the end. One of my absolute favorite moments is when Baz declares that, no they are not Sid and Nancy.
It maintained the flavor of the first two books- continued to give some dark moments while still maintaining the feel-good community love and support happily ever after tone of the series. Tough couple to tackle but still an excellent bookįirst, I just want to say that I really enjoyed this book. Just a couple of boys groping, battling, then finally loving their way to becoming men. Warning: contains sex in a Tesla, sex in a cupboard, sex under a piano, kinky role-play, and a cappella RuPaul songs. In the blinding glare, Baz and Elijah face the ultimate test: discovering if they're stronger together.or apart. When Baz's mother runs for a highly sought-after public office, the media hounds drag Baz's and Elijah's pasts into the light. Yet all signs seem to indicate this time happiness might be within his grasp. He's even less comfortable as the object of a notorious playboy's affections. Accustomed to escaping his demons by withdrawing into his imagination, Elijah isn't used to having a happy herd of friends.
For the first time, the prospect isn't terrifying. The aftershocks of their one-night stand leave giant cracks in Baz's carefully constructed armor. With loneliness bearing down on him, Baz hooks up - then opens up - with Elijah Prince, the guy Baz took a bullet for last year. But as the end of college draws near, his friends - his buffer zone - are preparing to move on while his own life is at a crippling standstill. With the quiet help of his wealthy family, Sebastian "Baz" Acker has successfully kept his painful past at bay. Even a hot mess needs a happily ever after.
