The Book Boyfriend Addict

My life is messier than ever before, but it doesn’t feel it. It’s almost as if the mess is a worthwhile tradeoff.

You’re a disaster, but here, have some Jordan in your life.

I’ll take that deal. No hesitation.

I thought this was just lovely. The title is very fitting because the book did a great job of showing just how incredible the ordinary things in life can be when you have the right people to share them with. Jordan had what many people would classify as an ordinary life, but it was a good life, made better by his tight-knit family. Milán, on the other hand, was sort of drifting through life aimlessly until he ended up becoming co-guardian of a little brother he hadn’t even known existed. After both their lives are turned upside down, they cross paths with Jordan and his son. Milán is drawn to the fact that Jordan seems to have his life together, and Milán can use all the help he can get when it comes to trying to raise a teenage boy. The more time Milán spends in Jordan and Theo’s orbit, the more he starts to see the prospect of the kind of life he never thought he wanted – the kind filled with love and friends and family. He just has to decide if he’s brave enough to take it.

It’s just the two of us. Two ordinary people in their ordinary lives that somehow feel extraordinary now.

I loved seeing Jordan and Milán build their friendship. It was so natural and easy the way they fit together. Briar Prescott’s signature banter was on full display in this one, and I loved every second. Milán was attracted to Jordan from the get-go, but the early parts of their relationship were truly just about the friendship, and I loved how close they became. There was always the little hint of “more”, and I loved how things evolved, but I think I would have been just as happy if they had kept things platonic because they were just that good together.

I also loved seeing the evolution of Milán’s relationship with his brother, Rory, and how Jordan and Theo supported them both. The four of them created the sweetest little family. But seeing Milán find his parental instincts and seeing his and Rory’s little moments of bonding tugged at my heartstrings.

It was also fun seeing some familiar faces. I hadn’t realized this book was connected to Maybe You when I started, but it was great seeing Wren and Sutton all happy and in love. And it was nice to see Remy again. This book can definitely stand alone, though, if you haven’t read that book. But if you want a book that has characters who have great chemistry, top-tier banter, loads of heart, and even a little intrigue – I think you’ll enjoy this one!

Maybe it’s not about grand gestures and big moments. Maybe true happiness is a series of ordinary days made incredible by somebody else living that same ordinary life with you.
