I doubted to read this book because, having met Gigi in "Finding your feet" (Toronto Connections #2), I wasn't very fond of him. Also, what I knew about his relationship with Brock from the previous book in the series was kind of messed up. And I have to say things don't get much better in "Growing pains".

I don't like Gigi nor his attitude. He's self-absorbed, and is always reinforcing different kind of stereotypes and making fatphobic comments. And yes, I understand that he has some issues, but these remarks are harmful and need to be challenged. And someone has to tell him that his obsession with food and weight isn't healthy.

And what about their relationship? It drove me mad because Gigi and Brock don't communicate at all, and a relationship can't work if it's based only on sex. Moreover, Brock is always afraid to say or do things that can make Gigi angry, and Gigi forces him to go back to their home town even though it's obvious that he has some unresolved traumas. I mean, I know that when they were teens, it was Brock who didn't act right and hurt Gigi, but in the present, it's Gigi who is being selfish and unsensitive. I can't stand him and I spent most of the book thinking it would be better if they broke up, to be honest.

However, what I find interesting about this book, is that it adresses different kind of family dynamics. On the one hand, there is Gigi's family, which is adorable and completely supportive. They love each other so much, but they are also able to see each other's faults and call them out when it's necessary. On the other hand, we meet Brock's parents who are quite the opposite... They are abusive, homophobic, and racist, and it's terrible to read what they are capable of. At first I didn't hate Brock's mom as much as his father because I get that she's a victim as well (his father has been violent with both of them since like forever), but I can't forgive her for what she does at the end of the book.

Anyway, I'd have liked these aspects to have been dealt with more deeply, but I'm glad that Cass Lennox decided to face them, because they are important and because knowing someone's background helps us to understand their side of the story.

TRIGGER WARNING for abuse, self-harm, fatphobia, and homophobia.

For readers who read Finding Your Feet and are excited for Gigi and Brock's story - this is it! Readers new to me and my work - hi! I hope you enjoy these two. They really work for their HEA in this (and made me work for it too). Growing Pains is nowhere near as sweet as Finding Your Feet. In fact, this one gets pretty serious in places, and without minimizing the issues brought up in the other books, I consider Growing Pains the heaviest of the series.

Gigi and Brock’s relationship has had a lot of bumps and dead-ends, but that is going to be nothing compared with a weekend spent back in their hometown for Gigi’s sister’s wedding. Gigi is dreading being back in the place that sees him only as Toby, and Brock is dreading…well. Pretty much everything, to be honest. He hasn’t spoken to his parents in over five years–not to mention they have no idea that their son is gay–and after years of abuse and hiding he has no desire to change that. But if h Gigi and Brock’s relationship has had a lot of bumps and dead-ends, but that is going to be nothing compared with a weekend spent back in their hometown for Gigi’s sister’s wedding. Gigi is dreading being back in the place that sees him only as Toby, and Brock is dreading…well. Pretty much everything, to be honest. He hasn’t spoken to his parents in over five years–not to mention they have no idea that their son is gay–and after years of abuse and hiding he has no desire to change that. But if he flakes out on Gigi there is a good chance that their relationship will go down in flames–big, sparkly, world-ending, flames. With both men struggling to keep their pasts in their pasts, the weekend is bound to be a disaster in the making. And that is not even factoring in the small, infinitesimal problem of Brock having not been 100% honest to Gigi about how out he was to everyone in his old life.

This is the third book in the Toronto Connections series by Cass Lennox, and by this point it is pretty clear that she is a very good writer. I have enjoyed all three of these books–to varying degrees–and have loved the different takes on love that she has offered us in this series. For this book we are back to what would be considered a typical gay romance. Two cis guys, falling in love, making a life together amidst the troubles of homophobia, family expectations, and generally just the ups and downs of life. But this return to the norm does not mean that the characters are any less vibrant–especially in regards to Gigi–or well written.

Gigi is a queen to meet every one of your expectations. He is loud, vibrant, bitchy, and determined to take on the world. It is his past however that really worked for me. Having gone thru school as the fat drama geek, I can totally sympathize with the trials of Toby. Granted, while I turned out to be just as shy and hesitant in adulthood, Toby turned into the most sparkly of butterflies. Well maybe not turned, since it is pretty clear from the start that Gigi is who he always was, it just took a while for him to show the world.

I will say however that personally, Gigi kinda gets on my nerves at times. I just have a general dislike of being around people who are that brash, that in your face. And it really has nothing to do with him being a drag queen, and everything to do with the kind of person you have to be to stand up and say this is how I am. I am fabulous and awesome…and you can shove my six inch heels up your ass if you disagree. I applaud the sentiment…just don’t wanna spend large amounts of time in the same room with that kind of person. And when over half the book is told from his point of view, it gets a bit trying. So I’m in this weird place where I really like how he was written…but also not. Because there were times where he was too self-centered, toolook at me! pay attention to only me! And even though I agreed with the reason behind him acting like that, it also made me want to slap him for how horrible he was being to Brock.

And Brock really didn’t need shit from anyone in this book. He had enough problems already. The way he handled it–especially his crumbling relationship with Gigi–was actually one of my favorite parts of the story, though. While it may seem like the book is Gigi’s story to tell, I honestly think that it was Brock’s that actually held my attention. His growth and struggles throughout the book were the things I really looked forward to from chapter to chapter. And while his past broke my heart, watching him stand up for himself at the end was worth everything else.

I did have problems with the constant flashbacks in the story (pet peeve of mine), but on the whole I think they added to the story more than they detracted. And I never stopped wanting these two guys to figure their shit out and ride off into the sunset, so that helped bump up the rating a bit. I also really appreciated how natural and real Gigi’s family felt throughout the story. Sometimes I have a hard time relating (or believing) the fictional families in books, but that was never really an issue here.

While this book (and the previous one) haven’t quite lived up to how much I loved the first book in this series, I will still go ahead a give it my recommendation. The writing is smooth and readable, and the characters have a lot going for them. I don’t know if I will be reviewing the next book in the series, due to the fact that it is f/f and I’ve talked a bit about my issues with those kinds of stories in the review for the previous book in this series, but I will give it look when it comes out and see what the other reviewers say. I am curious, so if it doesn’t have a lot of sex-scenes I’ll probably round out the series quite happily. But for now, this story is worth the check out, so if it on your radar I’d so go ahead and give it a try.

*ARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*
TW: homophobia, homophobic slurs, fatphobia, self harm, abuse.

All of Cass Lennox's books have something in common, and that's the characters. You start reading the book and you're suddenly rooting for them and you don't even know how that happened. They are all incredibly charismatic with diverse and interesting backgrounds but who also have a lot of flaws and a lot of growing up to do even if they are in their mid twenties (because obviously, you don't suddenly stop growing when you're an adult). I was a bit weary about this book because we see the relationship forming in the previous book so we go into this one with a one year relationship already formed but also because in the previous book we see that the relationship is between a gay guy and his high school bully. I'm not really usually on board with those types of relationships because I think it reinforces the stereotype of the homophobic closeted person and that's harmful because hate is hate and you can't justify it. But this book shows us that Broke wasn't really a bully or homophobic. I mean, yes he did some terrible mistakes and made some awful decisions that affected Gigi a lot but we see his growth and his regret and his want to do better in this book, to be a better person and the perfect boyfriend for Gigi and I think that the fact that these characters and that relationship is so complex, makes this book unique and different.

Gigi was such a gorgeous character. He kept reminding me of Angel from Rent but also a queen that you might find in RuPaul's Drag Race. I mean, he was fierce and unapologetic about what he felt but that also made him self centred and even arrogant sometimes. It was hard to keep loving him when he had those moments of "everything is about me" or "everything has to be the way I want it to be" but we can see that he has a good heart, especially at the end so that's what made me like him still. Also, Broke was easily lovable. He was so in love and so scared to loose Gigi that it made me feel bad for him. I don't think that he ever tried to justify his actions in high school and the book doesn't do that either. They don't try to erase it either. They are together with all those complications and despite all the terrible things Broke did, they are not pretending they never happened. It seemed that they fought a lot to get where they are in their relationship and even if they needed a lot of work in their communications skills, I think they learned how to do that by the end of the book because no relationship is perfect. Also, I think seeing different types of families living in small towns was so well done, I mean, we always see these racist, homophobic small town families in the media but there are good, loving families as well and it's important to show that.

There are a lot of things in this book that I wasn't on board with though. Something that I noticed in the last book but that I didn't mentioned in my review because it wasn't as present as in this one is the fatphobia. I mean, I understand Gigi has his issues but I felt like his fatphobic thoughts and the fatphobic thoughts that people around him have are never challenged on page. Yes, they tell him he's beautiful now and that he was beautiful then but it seemed that every time they said that, they were like you were adorable when you were fat but now that you're thin you're sexy. That's a really harmful thought. Also, if you're going to read this book be aware that there are a few homophobic slurs (I think three or four times). The last thing is that there's a talk of self harm in this book that happened in the past of one of the characters that can be triggering if you suffer from that. Even though it happened years in the past, I thought it could have been better handled because they don't really talk about it that much. They mention it and get past it really fast and I would have liked to see more depth there. ...more

Growing Pains didn't have quite the same level of "interesting" as Blank Spaces did, but it certainly wasn't a boring book. I think that if you like to read about a couple having struggles (real ones, not some trifle thing blown out of proportion) and overcoming them, then this book might be really satisfying for you.

I loved how much emotion Lennox managed to invoke. You read one character's POV and you support him all the way, while his lover really seems like a jerk. Then you read the POV of s ...more

I think the biggest problem with this novel was that it was attempting to conform to a romance novel format.

There were some really big things being dealt with in this book, most specifically physical abuse, shaming and family. Because of the format of a romance novel, however, the beginning of the book read as Brock being unreasonable in not wanting to go to the wedding of his partner of one year's sister.

For a long time, Brock gives no reason for this, longer in the world of the story than in the pages of the book, and from that point of view it's completely reasonable that Gigi is absolutely fed up with it.

However, from an abuse point of view, it's completely reasonable that Brock was hiding a lot of this in a small corner of himself and trying to pretend it didn't exist. This is one of the common coping mechanisms of abuse, especially when it's within a family setting, one that makes it harder to separate yourself from.

Most of the stuff that we got from Brock's point of view, experiencing this and also reflecting on it, was spot on to my eye. When he made his separation from them, and burst into tears instead of cheering, I was there. When he worried that he was turning into his father because he exhibited some violent behaviour, I was there. The way it makes you guess and second guess yourself... I was there for all of that.

However, in between all of these wonderfully insightful and well drawn scenes, we got chapters bringing the reader back into the romance between Brock and Gigi. Whether it's three months before, 8 years ago, a couple of seasons ago or whatever, these chapters told their own story. It was a sweet one, where a very closeted Brock was trying to come to terms with his feelings for a very camp Gigi. I absolutely loved some of these scenes. There were also some scenes in which we saw Gigi's feminine side come out good and proper, complete with female pronouns and acknowledgment of them from Brock, which absolutely made me squeal with happiness.

They just didn't mesh incredibly well with what Brock was trying to deal with in the present. Why? Because Brock and Gigi weren't together in dealing with what was going on in the present. They weren't learning from past mistakes. They were griping with each other, in the lead up to Gigi's sister's wedding. While that added to the abuse story, an the way that Brock felt increasingly cornered and threatened, it didn't add to the romance story, at least for me. ...more

I received an ARC through NetGalley.

Growing Pains is very different than the previous two books in the series. This time we're following Gigi and Brock, whom we met in Finding Your Feet. We already know a little bit about their past and how they winded up together again. However, there's a lot more going on there and it's certainly not happy. Gigi is heading back to their hometown for his sister's wedding, but Brock is not with him. At least not at first, which means the book starts with a fight I received an ARC through NetGalley.

Gigi is heading back to their hometown for his sister's wedding, but Brock is not with him. At least not at first, which means the book starts with a fight.

The tone of Growing Pains is very dark and heavy, which is not what I would have expected given Gigi's very bright personality. But he is clearly not happy with Brock's decision to initially stay behind without giving him a reason why. I was frustrated with Brock at first because he just refuses to talk to Gigi at all. But then I found myself frustrated with Gigi, because he is quite overbaring and doesn't even stop to think that Brock may have a very, very good reason for not wanting to return home. This did not read like a Romance Novel for the most part, which threw me off. But once I settled into what it was, I did enjoy it a lot.

Growing Pains deals a lot with abuse. Brock doesn't want to go home because he's not out to his parents. He's been lying to Gigi about that fact, which is not okay. But it was even more not okay for Gigi to pressure him into coming out. Brock's father is highly homophobic to the point of physical abuse. Brock also had used self harm as a way to deal with being in that household. It is absolutely understandable for him to not want to be back there with a boyfriend in tow. Of course, things do work out at the end. Not in a sunshine and rainbows kind of way, but Brock faces his demons and comes out alive. I was very nervous for him for awhile, since I wasn't sure how it would turn out since the book had not had typical Romance vibes.

Growing Pains was just a heavy read. I could see both Brock's and Gigi's sides as they were fighting, because there was such a lack of communication between the two that they couldn't possible know when they were in the right or in the wrong. This felt realistic, if it was frustrating. Although that just shows that I was very emotionally invested in their story.

Cass Lennox's Toronto Series is full of rich, diverse characters and the newest book in the series, Growing Pains is no different. We first met Gigi and Brock in book two, Finding Your Feet, and now we're a year into their relationship. What interested me the most and had me really wanting this book was to see how Brock and Gigi manage to put their past behind them and move forward. It's a tough go at times, especially for Brock and this book had my heart aching numerous times.

What interested me the most and had me really wanting this book was to see how Brock and Gigi manage to put their past behind them and move forward. It's a tough go at times, especially for Brock and this book had my heart aching numerous times.

If you haven't read Finding Your Feet, a little background for Brock and Gigi. These two have known each other for some time, in fact Brock was the bully who tormented Gigi so often in high school when they lived in a small Canadian town. Now, they're trying to move past all that to be together. It helps that this time, in Growing Pains, we learn so much more about Brock and the issues he's been suffering from that have helped shape him into who he is now and why he acted the way he did, namely that he was abused. Being in Brock's head and seeing things from his point of view was utterly heartbreaking at times. Not just the abuse he suffered, but the guilt from treating Gigi the way he did and the supreme difficulty Brock has in accepting his sexuality. Truly painful stuff. Gigi though, he's Brock's complete opposite in that he's open and honest about who and what he is. He's a diva and flaunts his gender fluidity. This makes for some tense moments between Brock and Gigi.

There are some flashbacks to help get a better picture of things that happened in the past and while I'm normally a big fan of flashbacks, here they didn't work quite so well. I did appreciate the things I learned from them, but they were done in a way that took me out of the present day story more than I would have liked. I also have a bit of a problem with the fatphobia from Gigi. I do understand where Gigis is coming from and the things he's overcome, but it was a bit off-putting. All in all though, Cass Lennox has a way of telling a story that completely sucks you in. Even if you get frustrated or angry with the characters, you're feeling something. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series for sure.

This is a story for everyone who got out. It’s a book for all the rural kids who built adult lives in big cities on their own terms but still find themselves terrified of their hometown ghosts. When Gigi and Brock return home for a family wedding, Brock gets so anxious that he vomits on the side of the road. I fell in love with him instantly.

As a somewhat gender fluid drag queen, Gigi’s didn’t quite fit in his small town. He was the fat gay kid. And he was bullied. Badly. As an adult, his childhood memories are still raw, but his community looks different through adult eyes. His family is amazing and his town is more accepting than he remembers.

It’s news to Gigi, but Brock still hasn’t come out to his parents or anyone else in town. His ghosts are still secret but his childhood experiences are worse than Gigi can begin to imagine. Years of conditioning have made it impossible for Brock to talk about his past with anyone - even Gigi. If he can’t start to open up, he knows he is going to lose his boyfriend.

I love the way this story starts with an established couple struggling with their relationship. Gigi and Brock know each other and they love each other - but they can’t communicate and they’re not making each other happy. Their hometown reunion is their breaking point. They both need support and they don’t know how to give it or ask for it. For a new adult romance, there is a maturity to this couple and the problems they face that I really love.

There is so much to this story that I loved. The themes of identity and belonging are universal. The long-term consequences of domestic abuse and bullying are explored with sensitivity. And somehow, the author keeps this from being too heavy. Cass Lennox is a new author for me and I completely fell in love with her writing style. She manages to bring a whole community to life and I absolutely loved Gigi, Brock and their rocky relationship. ...more
