I also loved how their relationship was developed with just the perfect pacing and the right amount of angst and heartbreak. I love Briar Prescott’s writing style, the forbidden romance trope and the wonderful chemistry between Max and Isac. All grown-up, and that kiss is suddenly haunting Max in a way that makes it hard to act normal around Isac… Surprised and taken aback, Max rejects him and to avoid the humiliation, Isac more or less flees to college to the other side of the country. Until nineteen-year-old Isac kisses Max and tells him how he feels. Max on the other hand, sees Isac almost like his own brother and cares for him deeply, but without any romantic intent. Isac has been in love with his older brother Anders’s friend Max as long as he can remember. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I really love seeing my favorite persons from the other books and to get the chance to be pulled back into their sweet romances again, as well as to see all of the friends together with their wonderful group dynamics and humor. The Better With You series follows a group of friends, starting with Gray meeting Kai in the first book, then Gray’s brother Connor meeting James, followed by James’s friend Anders meeting Wells, and now in this fourth book focus is on Anders’s younger brother Isac as well as Anders’s best friend Max.
