Let’s go through this together.
So we start immediately with beautiful art. Beautiful characters (like honestly, they’re pretty). We meet our 2 main characters Camilo and Theo. Right away I’m excited. Childhood friends to lovers? Yes please. You still with me?
Now…we get to Camilo helping Theo raise his wine tolerance. The story goes downhill from that point. That night. Gosh. The way the author went about developing their relationship (starting with their sexual relationship) immediately makes me uncomfortable as it starts with rape. I really wouldn’t have mind them having a sexual relationship first if both characters agreed to this type of relationship BEFORE Theo was drunk.
Why do so many people ignore that part of the story? Yes Camilo is attractive. Yes he’s in love with Theo. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that the way he went about their relationship was horrible. ESPECIALLY considering the fact that Theo wasn’t completely sure of his own feelings.
The side characters I liked as there was not much drama there.
