He's new and doesn't have anyone to hang out with. He doesn't know how to read and interpret all the signals, and he was, understandably, cautious moving forward with Rowan. It also means that he doesn't know how to handle the many new feelings he is experiencing and to navigate his way in this relationship with anything resembling ease. When he meets Rowan, our second MC, Kasen is truly experiencing many things for the first time, and for the first time in his life, he feels alive. He didn't feel comfortable on letting anyone in and that was probably his biggest downfall. As it said in the book's blurb, his mother was completely domineering and verbally abusive throughout Kasen's entire childhood, which has shattered his confidence and ability to relate to anyone. (Is it kind of creepy that I am so excited by a virgin character? Eh, probably, but each to his or her own, so don't judge me!) He is afraid of opening himself up to anyone because he really doesn't know how. Kasen is a 19-year-old socially awkward young man who doesn't have any friends and has never been in a relationship, meaning that he is a virgin in all senses of the word. So, I am breaking this review down to try to make sense of my jumbled thoughts on this book because there were certainly many. There were many parts of the book that I did like and as many I did not. This was literally me trying to rate this book:
