BLURB:
Ferris is straight, so why can’t he stop wishing his flirtations with his best friend would become real?
Tiago Álvarez
Flirting with Ferris is one of my favorite hobbies. He always playfully rejects me because he’s straight, but I don’t let that get my hopes down. That’s why I’m so shocked when he agrees to my silly idea to drive our fangirls wild by pretending there might be something more to our friendship.
But I secretly have an ulterior motive in convincing my best friend that we should share our hilarious banter with the fans. I want to make him see that we could have something real if he gave us a chance.
It’s obvious how much fun he has teasing me, so I wonder if maybe Ferris isn’t as straight as he used to be?
Ferris Valdemar
I’ve been telling Tiago no for so long that I don’t know how to tell him yes. But I really want to give in to my feelings for him that I’ve been running away from for far too long.
When he comes up with his scheme to fake flirting with each other for our fans, it gives me the opportunity I need to come clean about my not-so-straight feelings for my gay best friend.
But how do I tell Tiago that I want to be more than just friends?

REVIEW:
The Sunnyside Universe continues with Tiago and Ferris’ story.
Tiago has been flirting with his very straight fellow band mate Ferris for the last ten years. The flirting and teasing are only for fun right? No need to let anyone know that Ferris has had his heart for all those years. When Levi’s (their fellow bandmate) boyfriend Noctis suggested that the flirty banter in the k-pop bands has raised their popularity with their fans Tiago jumps in with both feet. This latest harebrained idea may just be the thing to finally trigger Ferris to finally accept that his feelings towards Tiago have definitely changed and he may not be as straight as he always thought he was. But can he suddenly just give in? And what will it do to their friendship.
Tiago and Ferris have been best friends forever and Tiago has pined after him for that long. Being demisexual means he can’t just “turn off” those feelings. I can’t even imagine how he held it together all those years.
I will say this is the longest slow burn I think I have ever read. That being said, this is one of the fastest let’s get to it as soon as Ferris came on board with it all. I mean, I get that there has been ten freaking years of frustrating sexual build up however at least give Tiago a moment to grasp that there is a HUGE U-turn in their relationship from best friends to lovers to forever boyfriends.
I did respect that Ferris was honest with his concerns and issues. But it was Tiago that did it for me. He was patient and a wonderful teacher. He was also very honest in the fact that things don’t always go perfectly the way the movies and books portray it. His firsts truly kept it interesting. That poor guy had the worst luck trying new things but I give him extra kudos for never quitting!
I was happy that all the band members were thrilled that they finally figured it all out. And the talk between Tiago and Sal was particularly sweet and showed how much Tiago truly cared for his friends.
I think one of my favorite parts was getting to meet Tia. This is one of those times when I wish there was video for my books!
Something I appreciate that the author does is that you can find pictures or recipes on her author page of things you love in the books that inspired her to write scenes. I actually have shared two of the recipes with my kids. They sounded that good!
I am looking forward to Sal’s book. I know the guys will be there to support him like they have done for each other so far. I’m a huge fan of the Sunnyside Universe and can’t wait for more.
