Cloudy With a Chance of Bad Decisions by Fae Quin


This is the absolute cutest book I have read this year, I'm OBSESSED with Alex and George!


From the Cloudy With a Chance of Bad Decisions blurb:

If “bad decision” had a photo next to it in the dictionary, it would be of Alex James.


What’s better than attending your ex’s wedding? A camping trip in the woods, complete with bugs, critters, and sharing a tent with the hottest—and most infuriating—man alive. It’s basically a full itinerary of terrible decisions…

George:
When I came home for the first time in years, I was expecting a peaceful week celebrating my ex’s upcoming nuptials, some quality time with my overly enthusiastic mom, and a much-needed break from the dumpster fire that my life has become. Instead, I’ve been tricked into sharing a tent with Alex—the human equivalent of a smug smirk—who somehow manages to be both infuriating and alarmingly attractive. He pushes every button I have, knows exactly how to get under my skin, and worst of all… I think I want him to. Which is great, because nothing says “relaxing vacation” like emotional whiplash and unresolved sexual tension in a nylon sweatbox.

Alex:
I keep things casual. It’s easier that way. Safer than letting someone in and finding out—once again—that I’m not enough, or worse, that I’m too much. But George? He’s messing with my game plan. He’s uptight, prickly, and has made it painfully clear that he doesn’t like me. But there’s something in the way his eyes spark when we argue, something in his laugh and those quiet moments when we’re not at each other’s throats, that draws me in. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the pull between us. It terrifies me—because I want him, badly—but I can’t let him see the mess I’ve been hiding behind these walls. Not now. Not ever.

Cloudy With a Chance of Bad Decisions is a standalone MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers. Includes a blossoming idiots-to-lovers romance between an insecure flirt and the adorably grumpy man his sister has decided to set him up with. Together these two are argumentative, snarky, and hot like fire. If you like funny stories with lots of banter, off the charts chemistry, hurt/comfort, graphic steam, and the slowest, sweetest of all burns then read on!


Angel's review:

To say I was blown away by this incredible book would be an understatement. Everything from the characters, to the plot, to the cute intimate moments between Alex and George, to the playful banter and the descriptive details of the scenery, everything was just exceptionally well written!! I'm struggling writing this review because I just loved this book and these characters SO much! It's difficult to put how much I enjoyed it into words other then simply saying, "I loved it!" But I'm going to try to further elaborate.

Alex and George get off on the wrong footing in a rather..unique way. They are almost enemies in the beginning, but after a rather heartfelt conversation these two give each other another chance. I was completely enamored by these two from the start of this book all the way to the end. I was purposefully reading slower to make the book last longer cause I didn't want it to end. George's mom was right when she said George and Alex are two peas in a pod, they really are. Both have been hurt by former lovers and have been left jaded with walls around their hearts to protect them from something bad ever happening again. But! As this story progresses, and as these two men really get to know each other, they slowly let their walls come down and accept that they are worthy of giving themselves, and each other the chance to try.

There are so many scenes that I loved in this story, but I'll just list a few of my favorites; Apology Pickles, late night picnic, snake in the river, fishing for a lost watch in the lake, and kissing in the rain by train tracks. Those are my top moments but there are so many adorable and heartfelt moments that occured that it's difficult to list them all. I loved the dialogue between all of the characters but especially the banter that happened between Alex and George, it was comedic, heartfelt, emotional at times, and full of understanding and patience.

I was immersed in this magically amazing world the whole time I was reading and as I was reading I was smiling and laughing out loud, and I was just genuinely enjoying taking my time to truly savor this extraordinary book. Fae, thank you for your impeccable writing and for creating yet another book with absolutely amazing characters! I am so excited for Joe's story, I can't wait to see what happens next in this fantastic world.
