The day Payton Grady returns home to Seattle after a few years away, he sees a gorgeous club kid who accidentally leaves an interesting scarf behind at the bus stop. In a silly attempt to locate the owner, Payton’s best friend places an ad on Craigslist. Two years later, Payton and his friend are shocked to receive a response from the erstwhile club kid. After balking, Payton’s stunned to find his missed opportunity was with someone from his past — his ex-boyfriend from college.
Noah Di Cicco has been wracked with guilt since college when he crushed Payton. His insecurities and betrayal destroyed their relationship, and eventually Noah's whole life. Six years and the experience of a rock bottom have changed Noah.
Now that Noah knows he’s good enough for love, both men remember what they had, while moving past the hurt they caused each other so long ago. Maybe they can be good enough together.
2nd Edition. Revised, heavily re-edited, and expanded.

My Review:Straight up...I loved this book. This story is a second chance at love trope (which is one of my favorites) and it's done really well. This is a story about two guys who were best friends for 2 years in college before they became more and then were exclusive boyfriends for 2 more years...until it all exploded.
The story is told in a series of flashbacks intermixed with the current day story, which make it all so much more emotional to read. There were moments when I felt physically sick about the pain happening on the pages of the book...for both Noah and Payton. Because these were two men that did love one another, but they were REALLY young when they got together. They also both had insecurities that came into play with their mistakes. Noah's mistakes are the ones that are most front and center in the story because he cheated...everyone knows that's bad, so it's easy to point the finger at him as the bad guy in this relationship. But I almost feel as if Payton's sins are worse because what he did systematically tore Noah down whether he meant to or not. Noah was an art student and Payton felt that was an inferior course of study. His comments were cutting and hurtful...and honestly, within the storyline, I personally wanted more retribution and realization for him. He got a glimpse of how hurtful he was, but I don't feel like he ever really fully appreciated just how deep those things he did and said went into Noah's psyche.
The book is deeply emotional as you would guess. These two guys have a lot of issues to work out and the last 6 years haven't been the kindest to Noah. Over and over my heart broke throughout this story. But I love that even with all the pain and hurt between them, there is still so much love there that shines through even during the worst moments. There is pain, but neither of them gets any enjoyment out of hurting the other...no matter how bitter things have become. When they lash out, it's purely out of self-defense. For that reason, their relationship and the validity of it in the long-term works for me even with all the absolutely horrible stuff behind them.
I loved this story, but there were a few minor timeline issues in the book that dropped this from a 5 star to a 4 star read for me...and honestly the issues probably just came from the re-edit on it. I'm pretty sure that there's a new sex scene into the book because later there's another and with the way things are stated in the later scene, it sounds like the first time they'd had penetrative sex with one another since their breakup...which wasn't the case. Also, there are two scenes with Chase, Noah's friend. In the second, he's supposedly just learning things that they'd already discussed in an earlier scene...so he already knew this information. Like I said...minor things in the overall story, but they jarred me out of the book and I began to second guess that I read things wrong (note: I did go back and check that I'd read them right before I wrote my review.)
So, while there were a couple of things that weren't quite right about the book, I still absolutely adored it. The emotional impact of the story is very high and even with the bad things each of the characters did, I loved them and felt so much empathy towards their situation and their pain. Also, I love the epilogue. I needed that to believe in the health of their future. Overall, it was just a really good, emotionally satisfying read.

Good Enough edition by Kade Boehme Natasha Snow Heidi Ryan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Well I finished this book soon after I purchased it but I'm only getting around to giving a review today. I gave the book 5 *'s for a couple of reasons.
First, I miss Seattle! You see club kids there all the time. They really do look like the author describes. He's realistic in his writing.
Second, he's realistic in other areas, too. He's realistic about emotions in a way that's totally meaningful. He doesn't shy away from the anger or nastier emotions, or the desire for revenge, etc. and shows exactly how hard it can be to forgive and forget.
He also made Noah a likable, strong character who'd changed his ways and grown up in ways we have all needed to grow up at times. Loved the fact he got clean and faced his adversities head-on but wasn't a self pitier, he simply went on with his life and was prepared to let Payton go if he was going to drag him down and not value all of is new work. Both men eventually carve out a new relationship but have to be willing to accept changes first.
I will read more by this author.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially when young and dumb, and man did Noah make a big one – one that he stills feel guilty about. But what happens if you get a second chance, even if it is just to apologize? Good Enough was a perfect second chance story for me, I loved every bit of it, even the parts that broke my heart. There was so much emotion in this story, the good and the bad, but so many feels.
Years ago Noah hurt Payton badly and it’s something neither man really dealt with. When a twist of fate and a really awesome scarf brings them back together, there is hurt, anger but there is still love. As they try to work through their past both men learn new things about themselves and each other. It was one of my favorite parts of this book, seeing Payton and Noah learn and grow.
Based on his mistakes and the way he hurt Payton, I didn’t expect to like Noah but oh holy moly, I completely fell in love with him. He stole my heart! He was young and scared and he certainly screwed up, but he has spent his years apart from Payton trying to make amends and make himself a better person. Shockingly, I found myself defending him at times (not his mistakes). Payton has struggled with the pain Noah inflicted for years, it seems to be something he never got past. He struggles with what it means having him back in his life, struggles with how he still feels about him. So. Many. Feels!
Kade Boehme has a wonderful ability to create characters that stay with me and linger in my heart, and Payton and Noah definitely stuck. Their story felt like an honest journey, with very real emotions. There were moments of anger, many of hurt but on top of that there was forgiveness, hope and love. If there were ever two men that deserved their happily ever after it is Payton and Noah. I adored their second chance love and Good Enough will be a book I will revisit. I have loved all of Kade’s books and Good Enough is right up at the top.
