Publisher's summary

Erik Keston, son of the Keston Real Estate empire, knows what it takes to be successful. Despite his inherent wealth, he holds his own. He works hard, he's grounded, he's brilliant. He's also secretly in love with his best friend.

Monroe Wellman lost his parents three years ago and never grieved, never recovered. Inheriting the family company and wealth means nothing, and his spiral of self-destruction is widespread and spectacular. Dubbed Sydney's bad boy, he spends more days drunk than sober, and the only person who's stuck by him through it all is his best mate.

But when Monroe hits rock bottom, Erik gives him an ultimatum, and his entire world comes to a grinding halt. It's not until the haze lifts that Monroe can truly see what he's been searching for was never in the bottom of a bottle. It's been by his side all along.

Contains mature themes.

Bit of a clunker from this author

I usually enjoy this author, but this book felt very heavy-handed and awkwardly paced. The narration did not help, as it was stilted and a bit William Shatnerish at times. a solid B- effort, but N.R. Walker has many books that are more immersive and sophisticated.

Love this story!

Erik and Monroe have been best friends for years, but after Monroe's parents die, he went overboard with drinking and partying and was losing Erik with his antics. Erik gives him an ultimatum and Monroe can't figure out what to do and starts having panic attacks. This is a story about addiction and love and how to deal with life. Love all the characters!

Heartbreaking at first but so worth it

I cried reading this because it really made me feel the pain of both characters when he had to hit rock bottom so he could make the choice to actually work on himself. It was so sweet how they yearned for each other from afar. Seeing the growth was beautiful and it unexpectedly helped me in real life. A very emotional book.

slow burn and deals with intense themes

I will start with I didn't finish the audiobook. the story was not for me, I was looking for a romance story and I think this might have a romantic story but the ground work stage was too much for me. I didn't realize how intense this story was going to be.

this book is for people who aren't bothered by addiction and the relationship dynamics that come from the addiction before and after treatment and recovery.

I think the author did a good job showing how messed up and in the thick of it people who are addicted and the people who watch out and take care of them can get. the story in the beginning is a little slow building to the two main characters separating while one goes into sobriety treatment.
