i didn’t understand why they so desperately wanted to be together.

it was like i was only reading half a story that just refused to delve deep enough and really flesh out the characters and the romance- and i honestly didn’t feel the chemistry between Levi and Peyton. at times their individual POVs felt quite indistinguishable and i found neither of them really gripped me. neither Peyton or Levi really stood out to me, you know? they just felt generic and a bit underdeveloped. the book was just kinda unmemorable and uninspired. I mean, don’t get me wrong, i liked them. they’re one of my fave couples by EF (a close second to Beck and Jacobs, but not quite there) so i was super excited to read Peyton’s story and see Talon and Miller as dads.Īnd while the latter was undeniably iconic. The moment i found out Miller and Talon’s son was getting a book, you best believe i lost my mind. I’m hoping it can be with him, but everything I’ve heard around campus points to Peyton not having the same life-changing revelation I did.Īnd if that’s the case, did I just move across the country for a straight guy? We said that high school didn’t mean anything, but the truth is, that night made me realize who I truly am, and since then, I’ve been trying to find that sense of freedom again. I haven’t had to think about him for four years, but now I can’t get him out of my head.Ĭoming to Franklin University for grad school to follow a boy I hooked up with once is the stupidest thing I could have done. I’m happy to accept that until he turns up in California. And while it was fun, we agree that being with guys isn’t for either of us. The last place I thought I’d find my release is at Levi Vanderbilt’s graduation party. I usually thrive under pressure, but as senior year looms, it all gets too much, and I need an outlet. I’ve been destined to follow in my NFL-playing fathers’ footsteps since the day I was born. My whole life I’ve had the pressure of being Marcus Talon and Shane Miller’s football prodigy. If you never fooled around with someone of the same gender, did you even go to high school?
