Detective Nathan Wolf might just be a junior detective, but he tackles every case with the passion that he lacks in his personal life. A series of failed relationships with women has left him still single at thirty-four—because he's too scared to admit to his longtime crush on his best friend James.
Dr. James Taggert likes to keep his profession as a psychiatrist separate from his party-animal persona. Known around the gay clubs as "Tag", he's the guy who screws them, leaves them, and never looks back. But James's drinking is getting heavier, and when bad memories from the past resurface, he's close to becoming the worst version of himself.
After a drunken blackout ends in a hot and heavy make-out session with his very straight best friend, James has no memory of the steamy affair. But Nathan isn't sorry for the kisses that James can't remember. Nathan finally musters the courage to tell James how he really feels, but a life-altering event might force them apart before they can ever be together.

48 of 51 people found the following review helpful. Getting It Wrong By A. White I wanted to like this book. I've liked other AM Arthur books. But Getting It Right was angst overload. Let's see...in the first few chapters there is (or mention of): sexual assault (several types), child/teen sexual abuse, suicide, infidelity (unprotected), drunken blackouts, alcoholism, minor character death/pulling the plug, drug addicted parents, parents selling their children's bodies for drugs, depression, a violent attack/beating, guilt, rape, and nightmares. In later chapters we get (or have mention of) gruesome murders, more alcoholism, spousal/child abuse, an eating disorder, forced tube feeding, PTSD, paranoia, drug abuse, cancer, parent issues, a stabbing, shootings and (perhaps) paralysis. God, I'm sure I'm forgetting several things. It was like a kitchen sink of sad depravity. There wasn't a single light moment in this book. They spent so much time at the hospital with various characters that it should have been an episode of Grey's Anatomy.The ending/conclusion of the "mystery" was so ridiculous and nonsensical that I was just rolling my eyes. Also, not to be spoilery, but the ending shows that Arthur has no idea what a law enforcement background check entails.The MCs spent so much time arguing, being disappointed in each other or needing "space/time" away from each other that I couldn't figure out how/why they wanted to be together except that they'd "always loved each other" and been friends for a long time. Really? Could have fooled me.Other characters popped in and out with very little to do other than create more angst or misunderstanding. I guess Arthur was trying to tie in the characters from her other books and preview future characters. But in the end, it was just too many characters randomly brought in for no reason and they all had significant issues. I had to force myself to finish this book. There was not a bit of this book that I enjoyed. I didn't really even like one of the MCs very much.
9 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Gritty, and emotional. By V. Rundell of V's Reads Is is a contemporary GFY romance between two long time best friends, James Taggart, a psychiatrist, and his college BFF Nathan Wolf, a police detective. James has been an out gay man his whole adulthood, but Nathan is only beginning to acknowledge his attraction to James after 15 years of close friendship. James has long held a torch for his straight bestie.James is an alcoholic--he's personally a mess. At age 15, he witnessed his stepfather raping his younger sister, who later ODed, and his mom's a guilt-laden depressed harpie. Now, James specializes in treating survivors of molestation and abuse. It is a soul-draining enterprise and triggers James' drinking. The night his sister's rapist is released on parole, James makes one bad decision after the next, and ends up sloshed, on Nathan's couch, where they kiss. Not that James remembers the next day.He does suspect something is off, and when Nathan admits that the kiss has him confused, and considering something more with James, James lies and says he's not interested, afraid to lose his best friend in a messed up bid at 'trying to be gay'.Then Nathan is wounded in action, and he disappears to sort out his feelings--cutting off contact with James. When he does return, they reconcile with extreme frottage. Mostly, because Nathan's never been with a man. And isn't sure about getting his cherry popped...Anywho, there is a whole lot of stuff going down, for both James and Nate: Nate coming out, he and James figuring out their relationship, James admitting he's an alcoholic, Nate returning to duty and working the serial killer case he'd been on before he'd been injured. It's a lot of stuff. The plot moves forward pretty fast.There's a severe lack of communication going on for two men who have known each other for 15 years. Sometimes I was aggravated by their stubbornness and their silence. Still, the story was well-written, though dark. The climax is really intense. I would have liked a bit more of the tenderness on the page. It would have balanced out the anger and fighting better. The parts I liked best were those intimate moments, when they were trying to connect--even just emotionally. Those pieces of vulnerability were excellent, and I wished for more of them.I received a copy of this book via NetGalley for review.
21 of 29 people found the following review helpful. This read like a big long therapy session By It's About The Book This read like a big long therapy session. Or talk it out session. Everyone is always having bad things happen. Screwing up. Drinking too much. Then they just talk it all out or say they need space. One of the MCs is a psychologist and he has a need to fix all the messed up people he seems to collect or recruits because he sees the pain in people. I don’t normally do this but as I read this book I couldn’t help make a list of the heavy topics characters experience in this book. There were so many! I think it’ll make my point. male child rape female child rape cheating drug addiction alcohol abuse domestic violence disfiguring attack PTSD teenage prostitution/ street kids suicide Murder Spousal rape prostitute rapeBasically for me it was just too much. Most of these things happen to the secondary characters and really did nothing for me. Just excessive drama with no real substance or reason beyond shock factor. It felt contrived.Nate and James were best friends since college. James has always had a thing for Nate but he thinks Nate is straight. A drunken kiss reminds Nate of some feelings he once had for James he’s repressed. When he admits how he feels to James, James panics and tells Nate he has no interest in a relationship with Nate because he’s afraid. Even though he does. Nate is a cop and he runs off into the night and does something careless that ends up with him leaving town for four months. James writes him every day to let Nate know he made a mistake and he does have feelings for Nate.I generally love a friends to lover and/or a gay for you story. The romance in this story was just too filled with angst and not really sexy or engaging. It probably didn’t help that I didn’t care for James. He’s slept with half the guys he comes in contact with. He’s selfish and does some really stupid things in this book. It’s hard to like a couple when one half of it irritates the hell out of you. Nate wasn’t so bad. I thought his struggle was at least understandable. He was pretty reckless at times. Both characters seemed portrayed as likable and capable but on the flip side a total mess. I didn’t really ever get a good feel for them.I don’t like that I didn’t really like any part of this book. The beginning was okay until the big lie that leads to the spiral into DRAMA land. I have enjoyed books by this author. This one was a miss for me however.
