There was a lot of growing up for the guys to do in this one. Though in vastly different ways. Lennox has had Will to lean on as he started to find a footing for himself, he finally had someone who he trusted and was starting to learn to dream again. Will's always had a stable ground to work from, he's never questioned himself before. He was able to give Lennox a place to lean in the past.
Now both boys are headed off to college and into a new world. Lennox is sure he's unprepared and is has no idea how he's going to learn to handle meeting new people and making friends, though he's excited for the music opportunities. Will is sure he's ready to head off to New York, he's excited to be in the city he's always wanted to move to, to meet new friends and explore. Of course both boys have the opposite experience from the one they expected. Lennox finally is finding his place, where as Will is suddenly at a loss and unsure of everything around him.
My heart hurt for both boys as they struggled with all the changes in their lives and learned how to stand on their own without each other to lean on. There are some incredibly painful moments for both these guys and I had moments of tears throughout on this one. Both guys are learning about themselves and who they want to be as they move towards adulthood. They're facing experiences they've never had and learning that things aren't always the way you imagine them to be.
This story is almost the make or break of the boys. They're either going to grow together or they're going to find that their stories are going to diverge. I liked how they fought for each other. They were growing, they struggled, but they found a way to make each other stronger.

It’s the end of summer after high school graduation and Will and Lennox are both preparing to head off to college, Lennox to Berklee in Boston and Will to NYU in New York. Although they know long distance won’t be easy, they plan to visit each other as often as possible, but while things go great for Lennox, Will’s dreams of NYU aren’t everything he thought they would be and as things slowly start fall apart for him, he retreats into himself and tension builds between Will and Lennox. Will they make it though their first semester of college with their relationship still intact?
I’ve been waiting for what seems like forever for the conclusion of Will and Lennox’s story, and Mr. Riley doesn’t disappoint. I loved that the roles are somewhat reversed in this installment. I adored seeing Lennox become the nurturing one and seeing the more vulnerable and not so put together side of Will. This installment seemed to put Will and Lennox on a more even footing, and while I’ve always been confident in Will’s feelings for Lennox, I think I walk away from these two young men feeling much more confident that Lennox feels that same for Will and with more assurance that they can make it work no matter what they face as long as they face it together.
The story is well-written and I loved seeing Lennox open up and flourish. College and his new friends suit him beautifully and it was amazing to see him come into his own. Will had a tougher time, but I’m glad that although what he thought was his dream didn’t work out, in the end I think he gets what he most wanted and walks away stronger and more confident in his future.
Although there have been times throughout the series where I’ve wanted to knock one or both of them in the head, I absolutely love Will and Lennox and it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to them as well as the host of loving family and friends that make up the secondary cast of characters.
This was a great addition to the series and Zane manages to recapture the chemistry, love and passion between Will and Lennox. Very enjoyable and definitely recommendable!

Lennox McAvoy and Will Osbourne are boyfriends who've weathered some storms. Lennox is an outspoken and harassed, out-gay, orphaned, black young man who's a musical virtuoso. In the past year he's fallen hard for a country white boy, Will, whose family took Lennox in and loved him as best they could. This is their third story. Will's family took Lennox in after his grandfather dumped him at a roach motel in Will's small hometown in rural Virginia. At that time, Lennox had be recently released from juvie, where he went after he injured his own attackers--white homophobes with powerful daddies--in the midst of perpetrating a hate crime on himself.
Lennox has grown a lot in the past years, and especially flourished living with the Osbournes. Will helped Lennox apply for colleges, an it was his encouragement that got Lennox a prime spot at Berklee College in Boston--where he's got a full music scholarship. Will follows his own path to NYU, to study journalism. It was his second choice after Sarah Lawrence, but he's sure it'll turn out great.
Lennox is a bundle of nerves, but he's a survivor and though there's an immediate housing mix-up, Lennox rolls with the situation, gaining a great new roomie plus a cast of new compassionate friends. He's fired up and energized with all the creativity happening around him. If only life in New York was going half as well for Will. His roommate is a turd, and the kids he met at orientation are vapid and shallow, not to mention Will's late everywhere he goes and gets turned around easily in the subway system. His frustration is only compounded when he learns he'd been accepted to Sarah Lawrence, but a paperwork snafu kept him from enrolling there.
Will and Lennox are determined to make their long-distance relationship work, but as the weeks and months stretch, it becomes harder and harder to keep connected, despite trips between cities. Lennox gets frustrated with the good advice he gets--that he's not responsible for Will's happiness. Meanwhile, Will's anxiety and depression grow until he's not able to manage behaving civilly and treats loving Lennox poorly. It's a big change for their relationship dynamic, and each of these young men needs to find a way to care for himself, while still caring about the other. It's a tricky balance, especially for two so young--they're both about 19--but they figure it out eventually. Not without some fireworks, however, and some heart-to-hearts that mend those battered fences.
This felt very genuine, and bittersweet, as I read it. I wanted to shake Will sometimes for hiding his true feelings until they couldn't be shoved down any longer. Yet, I knew that was an authentic response to his growing despondency. Lennox is a rock, and a great guy. I was so glad to see him grow and flourish completely on his own merit. Both of these guys are great, even though they aren't at their best of times--particularly Will. I was so happy when Will finally found a way to manage his life, and it was so sweet that Lennox supported his new path even though it meant even larger separations. This was a big compromise, but it was clear both men were making it, which was what needed to happen. Compared with the previous books, WHEN IT'S TIME has fewer sexytimes, but the intimacy and compassion are a constant on the page. It's great read for people who have relationships in flux, or who just want to remember those awkward new beginnings of college life. For me the nostalgia meter was on eleven.

This was a good second book in this series but I have to say that the way this book ended was disappointing. I am not a reader that likes an abrupt ending but I have hopes that there will at least be one more book for these two young men, if not more.
The beginning of this book started off kind of on the slow side for me but it picked up about a 1/3 of the way through it so that made it much better. I am truly glad that this book did not stay in the slow momentum throughout the whole read or I would not have been able to finish it.
I am not going to give a lot of details on this book because I do not want to give too much of the read away. I definitely do not want to give any spoilers for readers that have not read it yet but I will say this, I truly believe that Lennox and Will did a major flip flop for the most part in this book.
I felt in the first book that Lennox let his past rule the way he behaved and thought about himself but in this book I felt that Lennox finally was able to get his feet on the ground and found somewhere that he belonged and excelled at, Berklee College. Honestly this was surpsiing for me because Lennox did not really want to go in the first place I do not think. I truly believe that he was only planning on going for Will's sake and to make Will and Will's family proud. So when he excelled and seen that he could make it in college it was a shock to Lennox.
Though I believe that Will does want Lennox to succeed, Will was not prepared for Lennox to actually do better then he was. Will has always known what he wanted to do and where he wanted to do it at. What Will did not expect was that he was going to have issues. So when Lennox is succeeding and Will is floundering I believe that it took a major hit on Will. Will is used to being the one that Lennox has to lean on and so when Lennox is away from Will and Will sees that maybe Lennox does not need him as much as Will thought he did, Will does not know what to do with that.
This was a good read. Like I said though I do not like that it ended so quickly but I have hopes that Zane Riley will not leave me with questions that I would like answered and feeling like this story is not quite finished yet. I would definitely recommend reading the first book first if not done already because if not you will miss so much of these two men's back story. Definitely not a book to be read out of order or as a standalone. I hope to be reading the next book in this series before long.

4.5 Stars so rounding up to 5
I’m not 100% sure where to start this review…I’m a bit distracted by the ending. I’m really, really hoping this isn’t the end. I feel like they’re not done but I read somewhere this is a trilogy. I guess time will tell. This cannot be read as a standalone…there is too much history and story building in the two previous books.
This book didn’t seem as angsty as the previous two but it was still very emotional and intense. Both boys struggle with individual issues as they attempt to navigate a long-distance relationship. They go through some maturation and growth which strengthens them even though it was a battle to get there.
Will discovers that his life-long plan wasn’t everything he thought it would be and is forced to re-evaluate what he wants to do with his life. His behavior towards Lennox at times was surprising. His self-confidence took a major hit and quite frankly he acted like a spoiled child through part of the book which was disappointing. He does find his stride again after crashing and burning. There is some self-discovery that wasn’t fully explored that I would have liked to see more. He gets some pretty great news at the end of the book which was a bit predictable but I’m glad it didn’t lead to more angst and indecision.
Lennox really thrives at Berklee which was amazing to see. His teen trauma comes roaring back unexpectedly (which I didn’t fully understand) and he’s forced to deal with what happened even though he fought it tooth and nail. His road to full recovery has been started and I hope he continues to work through those issues. More of his history is revealed which is mostly good this time.
There is another fantastic supporting cast in this one including the introduction of some great new characters.
As I stated above, I hope we get more of their story as I was left with some unanswered questions.

When It’s Time is the third installment in the Go Your Own Way series by Zane Riley and it follows the relationship between Lennox and Will, the two of them will start college in a few weeks, Lennox will move to Boston and Will to New York. While Will thought and planned his future years ago, Lennox has never even thought college was a possibility for him and now everything seems unreal and confusing. The only anchor in his life is Will and the love they share.
I read the previous books in this series and I already knew how good the author is, so it wasn’t a surprise how much I loved this new release. I was waiting to learn more about these two young men and what life will have in store for them. I was curious to see if they were going to make it once college started. Most of all how they would make it. And just here the author surprised me, I wasn’t expecting the development I read.
As always the writing was superb, the reading flew easily and I was so caught into the MCs lives together and apart, I couldn’t put my Kindle down for a minute. I followed them to their struggles with new places to discover, new friends to meet, new dreams to fulfill (or not). The reason why the whole series is a huge success to me is how real the MCs story is, I found a connection with them since the first time I read about their lives, I felt their emotions clearly, I saw them hurting and be happy. I empathize with Will and Lennox for different reason but both of them took my heart.
I want to recommend the Go Your Own Way series, When It’s Time can’t be read as a standalone but give the series a chance, I’m sure it will be a beautiful journey for you too.
The cover art by Colleen M. Good is beautiful, it follows the style of the previous books and I really like it.

The third book in the series shows Will struggling in his dream town of New York, while Lennox is thriving in Boston. While the distance between the two is short the gap between them just seems to grow as they each struggle to find their way in life and a place in each other lives.
This was definitely an intensely emotional end to the previous two books, the relationship between Lennox and Will is redefined in ways they never though possible. I enjoyed this follow up book to the previous two books. Lennox had always seemed to be the one struggling in the previous books and he finally came into his own in this book, while Will whose life was not as rough as Lennox in the previous books really had a struggle in this book. It was nice to see how they each dealt with the reversal of their roles. The ending was the only thing that was a bit hard to understand since it almost feels like the author is leaving an opening to come back to these boys and tell us a new adventure.

The feels in this book we’re almost overwhelming. I felt myself on the edge of tears through most of the first half, with a feeling of something bad just around the bend or the next page. When that didn’t happen I felt relief, a hope that maybe everything would be okay. And it was.....sort of? It was hard to tell because of the abrupt ending. I’m not one of those readers who has to have a happily ever after ending. But I at least want an ending. I don’t want to be fully invested in a story, on the edge of my seat, only to turn the page and see The End, especially if there are too many things left unresolved (prostate orgasms for Will, the prostate wand gift). I’m okay with cliffhangers but not surprise cliffhangers. So this was a great story with an unsatisfying End, at least for this reader.

With this 3rd volume of the series, Zane Riley gifted us with a heartwarming coming of age story. We rekindle with the beloved couple from the previous books at a turning point into adulthood.
Several times in the story, Lennox is asked who he is and I really feel like this question embodies the series' underlying message.
What defines us, what experience we go through enters into the recipe of who we grow up to be, and most importantly, knowing that this is a process that can--nay, should be repeate throughout all our lives.
I wish we could see the boys becoming men, because they will make it through but for now I'll just quietly wait for Riley's next gem (and return to Go Your Own Way whenever i need the reminder that an age doesn't put an end to an opportunity to grow some more)

I'm a little torn on how to rate this one. I loved seeing Lennox and Will each become more self-sufficient (although that's nothing new for Lennox -- he's just in such a better place now than before), and I appreciate how little angst there is here compared to many New Adult stories, but...it ends rather abruptly. I wish there had been more of an "ending" to the ending.
January 21, 2018
More like 2.5 stars. This book is...fine? It has some of the same wild characterizations that don’t always work as the other books in the series, and a really abrupt ending that didn’t do it any favors.

I loved it so much and I would love for there to be more in the series. It’s so engaging and I love will and Lennox a lot. They really are great characters.

*4.5/5
I really want to give it the full 5 stars but the ending felt so abrupt, and there was no epilogue (...unless there's another book in the series coming?? please?)

Synopsis: Will and Lennox have graduated and are going to different schools. Lennox is worried about how he is going to cope without Will, the only person who has ever believed in him. When he gets to school, he finds good friends and really enjoys his classes.
Will is living his dream of going to school in New York, although he is worried about Lennox being on his own. Unfortunately, school is not what Will thought it would be. His classes don't interest him, or aren't what he thought they would be, and the friends that he made during introduction week aren't quite who he thought they would be. Will lives for visits with Lennox, either at his school or Lennox's.
Lennox and Will have to find a way to survive being away from each other.
What I liked: the very real portrayal of two completely different experiences in college. Lennox was supportive of Will, and if Will had told him the whole story, would have tried to work with Will to figure out how to get through it.
Will's reluctance to come clean with both his parents and Lennox rang true for a kid who was so certain of what he wanted to do and where he wanted to be. He didn't want to let anyone down, or admit that he might have made a mistake.
I liked the journey of discovery that Will went on, and what he eventually decided to do.
What I didn't like: nothing.
Overall impression: a fantastic story about entering college, and discovery of self. The writing is excellent, with very real, flawed characters.
