Except You (Our Exception, #1)

I love a redemption story, which is why Except You is perfect in every possible way. Max is a fascinating character because I was first introduced to him in Maggie's story as one of his bigoted brothers, so I was so curious about what his story could entail and my goodness was I not disappointed.
Max's story grabbed my attention immediately with his changed outlook, quest for forgiveness, and believable show of growth and shame about his past actions. His journey fully begins by meeting Beau, sharing a connection, and embarking on a sweet and innocent friendship.
Their friendship includes adopting a dog, visiting one's parents, and basically living together, which is total normal friendship behavior, while Max's complete blindness to his growing feelings is another great aspect of this story. Their undeniable chemistry, connection, and comfortability between one another made for a beautiful love story that I could not get enough of.
Beau is effortlessly charming and patient as Max comes to terms with their changing dynamics, which is an amazing aspect of this story that I adored from beginning to end.
Their love story has strong emotions, laugh-out-loud hijinks, and a fantastic slow burn where both can no longer deny their shared attraction and genuine love for one another.
So excited for Matt and Coop's story, love the premise, which will be nothing short of hilarious.
