Recently finished reading For the Fans by Nyla K., letās talk about it!
11/10. Mwah. Mwah. Mwah. I truly grew to love this book. I hold several of the character in my heart(like I usually do), and think of them fondly.
Hereās a quote from the book: āHe bottomed, but I feel like Iām the one whoās fucked.ā
Given the context, thatās so cutsey. This book took about a week for me to finish. I read reviews online about people who dnfād it because of all the smut and you guys are whimps I guess. I went into this book thinking I wasnāt going to like it, but now I love it. (Of course, respect to those who truly donāt love so much smut. We all have preferences.)
Hereās a book report(This goes without saying, but SPOILERS!)
I really enjoyed the writing and found it similar to God of Fury. The difference between the chapters of Avi and Kyran and the way they see each other made the book better.
Favorite character: Kyranās bestie Guty. Heās so funny and goofy and adjacent to queerness. At least, I think so. He was so supportive of Kyran when he came out and was dating Avi. He even helped Avi out when they couldnāt find Kyran. I mean, heās just so lovable. And heās hot. Zeb sure thinks so.
This. Book. Is. SSSSSPICY. I donāt know why people were complaining; I was eating that shit up. My favorite smut scene(is it weird to have a favorite smut scene?) was when Kyran told Avi to tell him heās beautiful. I feel like during those scenes, Avi and the reader get the real Kyran.
I love Kyran but he was pissing me off. I rolled my eyes every-time he ran away and pushed the gay away. Like gang, itās 2026(I donāt know when the book was written), people are gay Steven.
Fuck that stupid priest and Kyranās mom.
I feel like, if I were Kyran, I wouldnāt have forgiven my dad as quick as he did. Like, the same day. I can hold a grudge, so it would have been awhile. I feel we could of had more that that
That five weeks of Kyran being gone was torture, especially for Avi but also me.
The epilogues were really cute. Itās crazy that they once were trying to fist fight each other.
Big spoiler, so donāt read this if you havenāt read: if it really bothers you that theyāre stepbrothers, they arenāt stepbrothers at the endā¦And they hated each other for years so itās whatever.
(TW- Mention of childhood sexual assault (not detailed on page, mention of sensitive religious topics, detailed trauma recovery & healing, mention of death & grief, mention of suicide, homophobia, internalized homophobia, filming of sexual acts for money (online sex work), negligent parents)
I highly recommend this book. I was kicking my fucking feet. This was my first Nyla K. book and I really enjoyed reading. Also, in like every question that wasnāt a like of dialogue, there were two questions marksā¦Am I missing something? Also, this book report is very late. š
If you have any thoughts or disagreements, feel free to voice them politely. Until next time!
