Let’s take a little look inside of Notorious by Leslie McAdam, the fifth book in the IOU series.
It’s been a few weeks since I finished this story, but Kurt & Johnny are still on my mind every now and then. Notorious was a fantastic and deeply emotional read, and it hit me hard. I encourage anyone who wants to give it a try to check out the TWs, since it deals with heavy themes that might be triggering for some readers.
Kurt and Johnny were perfect for each other though, and there was so much unwavering support and love in their story. I loved seeing them get to know each other, and their romance was just so, so sweet!
How it begins…
I’m dead. Or maybe I’m about to die. That’s a distinct possibility, too. One way or the other, I’m pretty sure I won’t live to see the rest of today. Death has to be preferable to whatever invisible demon is rubbing sandpaper on my brain.
