Reread: The way this series has a grip on me. One of my absolute favorite MM+ series, I'm obsessed. And there are literally thousands of pages in the series with all the books + short stories which just means I get to immerse myself in their world for a good long while.

I am really enjoying this series. It doesn't seem like it should be, but it's like a comforting warm blanket, reading this. Being inside Dale's head as he tries to find his way as a brat and a member of a five person poly relationship is really interesting. The structure that Flynn, Jasper & Paul give is really reassuring for Dale (and for me). I loved meeting extended members of their "family"; the found family that Philip and David created is really beautiful.

For some it may seem like he just keeps going over the same ground over and over, but I think that makes it realistic. He is trying to learn new habits and behavior, and he's not just going to magically get it right the first time. It takes him a lot of one step forward two steps backwards, but he gradually starts to trust in his men more and more.

I can see myself re-reading this series in the future as a comfort read for sure. Just let the wisdom of the Tops wash over Dale (and me).
