This is my first experience with Suki Fleet's story. I deliberately avoid her other stories because from what I could gather, they are all doused with angst. I have come into that point in my reading journey, in which I could no longer appreciate high level dose of angst. I like my angst, but the 'balance' have to be just right.
I decided to give this free one a try because of two reasons. First, the title. Gosh, what a smart title. It is the kind of title than stands out for me, among hundreds of stories I read every year. Second, well, because Fleet said that this would be 'lite angst'.
I thought the story was pretty well-done. I loved both characters, Oscar and Jamie. I loved reading about their feelings towards one another. It was a sweet filled with teenage-emo that was commonly found in a young-adult romance. It was romantic and I couldn't see these young men with everyone else. It was like they were made for each other.
Unfortunately, the angst was still a little bit overdone for me to enjoy. Of course, it's a matter of taste, right?
