Definitely one of the better romance novels I've read. I enjoyed the writing and the characters. There's more depth and complexity than you usually find in books like this. I had seen this recommended on social media and was very skeptical, but they had it on display at my library so I just grabbed it on a whim and I basically could not stop reading it once I started. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day at work since I ended up reading all night lol. I really appreciate it how it broke from the standard formula. There was a little bit of silly plotting toward the end, but even though I was impatient with it at times, it ended up amusing me. I actually liked that the intimate scenes were not very explicit. I always wonder what that's for when I'm reading books that are more explicit. Most of those scenes just feel awkward and funny.
It was just nice to spend time with these characters and their world in this book and its slight sequel. As far as this genre goes, I enjoyed the prose. I didn't realize how much until I went back to the library this evening to try to find some more fun reads like this, but every queer/MM romance I picked up I would read the first page and cringe at the awful prose. So I guess these must be fairly well-written... I find myself looking forward to any future MM romances that this author might write.
