Undeniably Yours, Brittany Cournoyer

Both men were interesting at the outset, but I can't exactly say I stayed interested for very long.  There was a ton of detail in the story which made the whole first 1/2-2/3 feel a whole lot longer than it really was.  By the time anything happened between the two men the book was more than half over which gave very little time for the transition and settling of their relationship.

When the big conflict happened it felt so very predictable and it was Soloman's reaction that was the most disappointing.  He'd been building up his insecurities for days and days and piled all of them on top of more than a decade of longing that he exploded quite spectacularly, and not in a good way.  It felt forced with how big the issue became.  Brody's groveling was simple but direct and I appreciated it because it was something he truly did need to apologize for and I was happy for them that they finally got on the same page.

Overall the story was nice, it just wasn't my favorite from this author and the characters weren't quite as compelling as I hoped they would be considering friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes.

Friend-zone: a place where feelings are buried after they aren’t returned.

Solomon yearned to be more than Brody’s best friend. But when there was no hope of Brody feeling the same way, Solomon took his place in the friend-zone and stayed there for thirteen years.

Serial dating was only ever a sport to Brody, but even then, he sucked at it. No matter who he went out with, something was always missing. Perhaps what he’s missing is the man who’d been standing beside him for the last twenty years.

Feelings can only stay buried so long before they surface.

Were Brody and Solomon always meant to be together? Or will giving into their feelings transform their friendship completely?
