REMMETT
My twin brother and I have gotten ourselves into a lot of messes growing up. We would constantly switch places to escape consequences while protecting each other at every cost.
But sleeping with Ben’s professor is a whole new level of mess, because there’s something Jonah doesn’t know. He might have been Ben’s professor last semester, but the person he was lecturing wasn’t Ben. It was me.
JONAH
From the moment I meet Emmett, I know he looks familiar but I can’t pinpoint where from. It’s not until I see his twin brother in the quad that I put two and two together.
Dating the sibling of one of my ex-students isn’t a huge problem for me, but I can’t help thinking the twins are hiding something.
The more time I spend with Emmett, the more I fall for him, but as my insecurity grows, so does my worry that I’m being played.
When my heart and my gut tell me two different things, I don’t know which to trust. My gut tells me to cut and run, but my heart won’t let me. Even though I’ve been telling myself to hold back, it’s too late. I’m already in too deep.
REVIEW:
This book marks the final chapter in the Franklin U 2 series. I’ve been looking forward to Emmett’s story since book 2, A Stealthy Situation, which was Emmett’s twin brother’s Benny story. Emmett and Benny have always been there for each other, sometimes too much, as evidenced in Benny’s story. But now they are getting their lives back on track and Emmett is actually sometimes able to be himself at Franklin U. Well, not initially and that’s what continues to cause issues.
Emmett meets up with Professor Jonah Brooks, who was “Benny’s” statistics teacher even though it was Emmett who took the class. It’s a complicated thing the twins did in middle school that continued to the point where now they are both suffering the consequences. “The issue is that now I can’t tell the difference between a comma and an apostrophe, and Benny can’t do basic multiplication.”
Similar to Harrison when they met, Jonah is unaware there are two of them and that is an issue. Even more, though, is the fact that Emmett wants something he has a passion for, something he and Benny both walked away from, and he doesn’t know how to go about getting that back. I felt so badly for him, as he was also so lonely. Yes, he has Benny, but for a long time, no one knows he is Emmett – they think he’s Benny, and he can’t be seen anywhere Benny is. He has to climb in a window to get to Benny’s room, for heaven’s sake.
For his part, Jonah is a lovely character. He is close with his nephew and that’s the way he really gets to meet Emmett, who he thinks is Benny. It sounds very convoluted as I describe it, but it really isn’t. It’s a case of secret/mistaken identity and how do you get yourself out of that mess?
For the final book it wraps up Franklin U 2 nicely and I was SO very happy to see Emmett get what he deserved.
