Bad at Being Good by A.L. Morrow📘Book Info
No one is good all of the time. Especially me.
Six years ago, I promised my friend Kellan that I’d never mess around with his little brother. I accepted it. I didn’t regret it, and I didn’t think twice about it. Milo Sterling—the good student, perfect son, and promising dancer—was off limits.
But that was before .
Before we went away to college. Before Kellan died. Before I flunked out of school.
Now, I’m back home, and Milo’s different. He’s quieter and colder, no longer a boy but a man. And that hurt in his eyes? I put it there the night I failed to save Kellan. I have a lot to make up for. Falling for Milo, no matter how much I want him, would be one more thing to add to my list.
But promises are meant to be broken, and if there’s one thing I’m bad at, it’s being good.
Bad at Being Good is a best friend’s brother/brother’s best friend (dual POV) M/M romance featuring hurt/comfort, mental health representation, coping with grief, and—of course—a happily ever after. Readers are advised to check the Author’s Note for content sensitivities.

💭Our Thoughts
Teddy and Tissue Read -
This was an emotional rollercoaster both for our characters and for me
Milo and Benji were carrying some heavy emotional baggage and neither had anywhere to unload it - Well anywhere that felt right
Benji had always been a bit on the wild side, but the loss of Kellan and Mr. Sterling's accusations pushed him to his breaking point
When he is suspended from university and returns home he is forced to face Milo, Kellan's little brother
He isn't a kid anymore and Benji is having trouble keeping him in the no-go box
Milo has always used dance as his outlet, especially since his family broke apart and Benji cut off all contact with him without reason or warning.
Suddenly Benji returns and Milo is more confused than ever.
This is packed with angst, laughter, personal growth, self-acceptance, discovery, and love
The slow build-up to the relationship was believable.
The interactions, the shared traumas, that they already knew so much about the other.
How Mr. Sterling could have the job he did and do what he did is beyond me - I know grief messes with one's emotions but wasn't he supposed to be the professional?
I think Benji got a bad rep and I am glad Milo saw him for who he was beyond his emotional armor
I do wish we got a bit more time with the secondary characters.
The pace of the story is slow and steady. There is a lot of backstory and character-building.
I felt like they were necessary as they created a deeper connection to the characters
