They say it’s a bad idea to fall for your best friend. But since when do I say no to bad ideas?
Adam: It’s not like I wanted to fall in love with Ben. When we first met in college, I thought he’d be like every other hot jock who’d made my life hell in high school. It's not my fault he turned out to be sweet, funny, and insanely talented. We moved to New York after college to break into the music business and of course Ben got signed by a major label—they’d be stupid not to want him. But even though he’s a famous popstar now, he still wants to be friends with a nobody like me. Honestly, if he didn’t want me falling for him, he should have been less goddamn perfect.
Well, except for the part where he’s straight. Did I forget to mention that?
In my defense, responsible decision-making has never been my strong suit. Case in point—collapsing on stage, guitar in hand, after discovering my then-boyfriend, now-ex was cheating on me, and downing a bottle of bourbon in response. But I’m cleaning up my act—no more hiding in the closet and no more bad life choices. But that also means no more waiting around for the day Ben magically decides he likes di…sgustingly sappy guys with secret crushes on him (aka me).
So why did Ben have to pick now to make me question everything I thought I knew about us?
“I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want you right now. When I see you, something inside me lights up.”
Ben: It’s not like I planned this. I was on tour when Adam collapsed back in New York and he wouldn’t even let me come home early to visit him. But that’s Adam for you—brilliant, breathtaking, and pathologically afraid of vulnerability. All I wanted was to be there for him—and him coming out didn’t change that in the slightest. Yeah, I couldn’t help seeing him a little differently. And no, I couldn’t quite explain why I was suddenly noticing the curve of his back, the freckles on his cheeks, or wondering what his lips tasted like. But whatever weird awakening I was having, Adam needed support, not more confusion.
And then I kissed him. Whoops.
And I know it’s fast. I know it’s unexpected. I know my label would be livid if they found out I was dating a guy. But I also know—deeply and inexplicably—that this could be something real. I just have to convince Adam of the same thing. Beautiful, broken Adam who looks at the world through 14 layers of irony. Adam, who’d rather get an appendectomy than admit that he needs someone. Adam, who still doesn’t know all of my secrets.
So do I convince him to risk everything—on me?
Adam’s Song is Book 1 in the 8 Million Hearts series. While each book can be read on its own, they've even more fun to read together. Adam’s Song is a 120,000 word m/m romance full of snark, sweetness, and a healthy serving of steam. Friends-to-lovers and hurt/comfort themes. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.

(absolutely my kind of humor, sarcastic Adam is just perfect, I feel you Adam)
m/m romance + best friends to loves + a little heartbreak + a lotttt of swoon ♡
I enjoyed being in Ben and Adam‘s world for a few hours. I loved their banter and was very happy to find out there‘s a free bonus epilogue too for newsletter subscribers.
„Good night, Adam. My dearest, favoritest human in the entire world,“ I couldn‘t resist adding.
„Gross. This is harassment.“
„Love of my life, light of my world, beat of my heart, sun in my...“

The book is written well, with realistic and fluid dialogue. The usual problems that are small in my mind, but in book form always seem to be so major that they keep a romantic pair separate for some time.

After reading quite a few books recently with terrible dialog and purple prose (Can’t Fight It, I’m looking at you), it was SO NICE to read a book with sharp, witty, realistic dialog. Ben and Adam have great banter (as does everyone else) with the right amount of “I’m really not used to sharing my feelings but I guess I better start or this is all going to fall apart” dude reluctance.
I liked both MCs a lot and I enjoyed their growth, both as a couple and as individuals.
Adam’s Song is long, but everything is so well done that the investment of time/money is totally worth it.
My quibbles are as follows:
Though I LOVED the sharp, witty dialog between all the characters, it was almost too perfect. Not everyone is that “on it” with the clever comebacks all the time. That said, I have never liked a conversation about broccoli as much as I liked the one Ben and Adam have near the end of the book.
Ben was almost too perfect. His “flaw” wasn’t really even a flaw. He’s too supportive? That’s like saying “I work too hard” when they ask you to list a negative quality about yourself in a job interview. Ben realizes he’s bi with no internal angst at all. It’s as easy as picking up his dry cleaning. He also jumps into the deep end of the gaysex pool with a running leap. It would have been more realistic if he’d been a little more uncertain/hesitant about some of the biggies (whispers...rimming...whispers). The sexytimes are SUPER hot. It takes a while to get to them, but they are worth it and I never felt like I was missing anything in the first half of the book.
Also, Ben wouldn’t have made THAT much money on his first album and tour. First albums and tours are mostly about paying the record label back for the upfront money they spent making/releasing/promoting your album. But I liked most of the other music-related bits.
