Sebastian finally confessed his love to Meik. However, the answer he received, forced him to leave and completely disappear from the life of the man who stole his heart. And although Meik quickly understood that he had committed an unforgivable mistake, when being drunk he called Sebastian by the name of his ex-boyfriend, he is neither able to fix it nor explain himself, as the young, homeless musician vanished into thin air.
The memories of the past that Sebastian started to regularly awaken in Meik, now come as an unstoppable wave that floods the man who is forced to finally face his past.

I think that from the very beginning of this review it should be noted that the story constituting the fourth part of "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" is very different from the ones we have read so far. It focuses primarily on Gabriel and Miek, in other words on the past, which we have been exploring bit by bit over the last two installment. On the one hand, it's certainly an advantage that we have an even greater and more detailed insight into the past of these two, and what's more, we can finally find out if our predictions concerning their fate were true. And so we know with great certainty what made Meik the person he has been so far, and in a sense, we also understand what made him so interested in Sebastian during their first meeting. However, the disadvantage here is the fact that our young musician has very little space for himself. In this part, Sebastian doesn't really exist, as he's mostly just a thought that constantly appears in Meik's mind, which is a shame.
Let's move on to the next topic, as the great advantage of the story presented here is certainly the fact that Meik's evolution as a character reached its last stage. Our image of him as a person is now as completed as possible in the case of the main fictional character. Thanks to this fact we are able to quite clearly outline his psychological profile, and we undoubtedly owe it to the authors. Let us note that in this part of "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" we finally have the opportunity to see what Meik has been hiding so far and what he was running away from. By becoming more honest with himself and reconciling with his past to finally take a step on the road to future, Meik does a 180, and we really should praise Quin&Perin for that. And although I admit that in this installment of the story, the emphasis has been placed on the past, not on the present thoughts and feelings of the lead, the reader is really able to make the most of this last part of the novel.
Finally, I would like to add that the fourth installment of "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" is to a large extent a real tear squeezer, and it's all because of Gabriel. The reader already had the opportunity to fall deeply in love with him, but now our feelings strengthen as we learn more about him. I admit that the authors played really unfair because they stole our hearts using the character who is part of the past and whose way to the fictional present is closed. Thus, Quin&Perin put us in a dead end situation, as we can't resist Gabriel's cuteness and charm, and at the same time we are fully aware that in the end we will suffer. It is a pure sadism and lack of compassion for readers!
To sum up, the fourth and the last part of "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" is a really emotion-charged ending of an amazing story that the reader will remember for a long time. This installment might seem a bit incomplete, but if we combine it with the previous parts, it creates something fantastic and wonderful. So I think that "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" is really worth reading. I love this novel with all my heart and I'm sure that you will fall in love with it too.
Headcanon: Sometimes Meik has the days when he tries to makes up for all the lost years of affection to such an extent that Sebastian almost gets sick of it.
Fanfiction idea: Meik dreams about Gabriel's life after death, when the boy is a ghost who falls in love with a psychic.
AU idea: Without Meik's knowledge, two cats move into the basement of his house. When he discovers it, he initially plans to get rid of them, but eventually he lets them stay with him. It turns out, however, that Gabriel and Sebastian - that is how Meik named the cats - are actually two cat shifters.

Excerpt
Sex shouldn’t be so hard. People did it all the time. Hell, he and Gabe were proof that people fucked. By now though, he’d looked up too much information. That was the problem. He’d researched and researched. Looked up articles. Instructional videos. Diagrams. He wanted to be prepared, but he’d ended up scaring himself.
The doorbell rang, several times in quick succession. Gabe’s familiar pattern. Anxiety served as a cold shower to his erection, the bulge dying down. He shut the drawer, bouncing up like a jack-in-the-box.
He galloped down the stairs, grinning when he saw Gabe walk towards him, having let himself in. His backpack dangled from his shoulder, and he smiled widely. “Ready to work on homework?” he teased.
“Yeah. Sure.” Meik chuckled. He approached Gabe, meeting him at the bottom stairs. He took the backpack from his shoulder, letting it thud to the ground next to them. “We can work on our anatomy homework.”
Meik moved in to catch Gabe’s lips, but his kiss ended up skidding across those dark curls when Gabe tilted his head forward into Meik’s chest, sighing loudly. “You’re talking like we’re in a cheap porno. I don’t like it.” His whining was muffled. “I don’t even take anatomy.”
A snigger and Meik buried his nose in Gabe’s hair. “You kinda like it. Admit it.”
“Never gonna happen.” Gabe kept his giggles quiet, but his body shook against Meik’s.
Trickling his fingers along Gabe’s side, he snuck them under his shirt, touch light on the warm skin. “Admit it,” Meik lilted, tickling him.
Gabe squirmed, shaking his head. “No.” His laughter, still silent, made his entire body tremble.
“Not gonna stop until you admit you like my porn talk.” Meik enjoyed the way Gabe wiggled against him, hips pressing together. The erection that had died down started regaining strength until the weight of what he’d planned settled on him again. Would things change? Would they be the same? Would Gabe even want to sleep with him? Those same doubts had plagued him for the last couple of weeks.
“Meik! Stop!” Gabe shrieked in laughter, palming his chest and pushing him away. He was breathless, blotches of pink on his cheeks, tears clinging to his lashes.
“Fine, fine. Only ‘cause I like you though.” Meik held his hands up in surrender.
“You are the biggest dork. I don’t know why everyone at school thinks you’re cool.”
“I cultivate my image very carefully.”
“Oh, so I am the only one who knows the real you?” Gabe’s head quirked, hands fisting in Meik’s shirt.
It was an interesting question. A probing one. Meik didn’t know the answer himself. His brows drew together, and he shrugged. “Dunno. Maybe.”
“You’re supposed to say yes. It’s flattering and romantic.”
Meik leaned in, nipping at Gabe’s pout. “I mean...yes.”
“Better,” Gabe hummed.
Meik pressed their lips together. “Why don’t we...head up to my room?” The words came out with a hitch, surprisingly.
“Sure.” Gabe pulled away, snatching up his bag. “I brought those movies for us to watch.”
Gabe didn’t seem to have a clue what Meik planned. After all, they spent most weekends watching movies together.
