So Real is book 2 in the Boys of South Chapel Series and is not a standalone. With that said, it was a shocking sequel to So Wrong, and I loved every word of it!
So Wrong ended on a cliffhanger, and this one picked up right where it left off! There were twists in this book that I didn't see coming, leaving me with wide eyes and mouth wide open! Like all of Abby Millsaps' books, it was so written perfectly!
I actually listened to the audio of this book, and I must say it definitely brought the characters to life! June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, and Keval Shah did an amazing job narrating! I can't wait to see what happens in So Rare!
Absolutely LOVE this audio - the narration by June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, & Keval Shah really brings to life this story.
This story reels me in, takes me on an emotional rollercoaster, and leaves me hanging once again. I absolutely loved the continuation of Hunter's story - we get more background on her time after leaving home and her stay in London. That's how she met Spence (Kabir) - the man who barrelled into the house at the end of Book 1. Their dynamic brings something new to the group, as revelations of why she left come out.
Greedy in particular gets an emotional beatdown in this book - learning about his shared past with Hunter. His relationship with Hunter has very low lows and then comes to a new high. His love for her has no bounds and it is put to the test here. My heart hurt for him but loved how his story evolved here.
This book takes the spice from the first one up to another scale altogether. Spence and Hunter practice a consensual dom/sub relationship and introduce Levi & Greedy to their dynamic. There is a lot of praise and degradation that gets introduced but it is done in a very careful way. Spence loves Hunter and understands her in a way that Levi & Greedy don't. His openness also makes room for Levi to explore his own sexuality and seeing their relationship develop brought another aspect to this story that I loved.
Hunter's struggles with mental health are at the center of this book. The delicate way her struggles are pictured had my heart aching and I think it gives another level of understanding of her character. Her love for these three men and the different needs they fulfill are at the heart of this story. I am itching for the next book where I think we will get introduced to her fourth love and also figure out the mystery that book 2 ended on.

Picking up right where So Wrong ended- this why choose book enters a new character, Kabir Spencer.
The group goes through how to function together living in Hunter’s estranged mother’s cabin.
My heart breaks over and over for Greedy. Hunter has her moments with each guy here, and of course they have their moments together. 😬😬😬 it’s hard to give any more of a review without spoilers but read those trigger warnings pal because whew !!!
There was so much about this book that made me cringe and wasn’t my style taking it a bit too far. But am I completely invested now in every characters future and will continue the series? Absolutely.
Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan audio for the ALC in exchange for an honest review.
