Story of Anderson and Crew

This is an mm best friends to lovers college romance, featuring Anderson Walker and Crew Collins and is the third book in this series. Narration was extremely well performed.

Anderson and Crew have been best friends since they were little. Crew has had feelings for Anderson since they were teenagers but tried to squash it down as he never wanted it to impact his friendship with Anderson. It isn’t until they are on summer break from college, both attending different schools, that something changes between them and a spark ignites.

Crew has demons he feels are too strong to fight and he secretly struggles with substances all the while building a relationship with Anderson.

This is a beautifully written book, it was a heavy read, my heart was aching for Crew the entire read and I had to take breaks from reading to process all the pain he was going through. It was a hard fought HEA but they got there.

Katie makes an appearance in this book too, love her!
