Patrick Mason travels to Bristol to spend the summer with his brother, Ben. He’s cat sitting for the first two weeks while Ben goes on holiday. But Ben neglected to tell him he wouldn’t be doing it alone. Will Adams—Ben’s mate and Patrick’s long-time crush—is staying in Ben’s guest room while he waits to move into his new house after a breakup.
Against his better judgment, Patrick convinces Will that a little no-strings fun is just what they need. Patrick doesn’t want to get involved with a guy on the rebound, and Will isn’t interested in starting something serious with a student. But Patrick’s never been good at separating sex from feelings, and this time is no exception. As their weeks together draw to a close, they need to decide if they have something worth pursuing or if it’s really just a casual thing.
Not bad this book but, while I didn’t had any difficulties getting through it, I couldn’t connect at all with the characters.
Patrick has always been attracted to Will and, when they find themselves living together, the attraction can’t be ignored anymore.
Well, here’s where the story went downhill. Everything happens too fast. They go from zero to one hundred in six seconds. There’s no development to their relationship. It just fell flat.
Their interactions seemed weird and kind of forced. There wasn’t any feeling behind them.
I didn’t particularly liked Will even if, in a way, I understood his reasoning.
Patrick seems immature and childish even if he claims different.
Again, I’m not saying the novel it’s bad, it didn’t work out for me.
If you’re looking for an easy and light read, A Casual Thing is the perfect book for you.
Happy Reading!
