Here's what I liked:
  • The autism and casual bi and pan rep
  • The dual POV
  • The fact that Seb got therapy and "improved"
  • Ziggy. Love her.
  • Ren and Frankie cameos (love love loved their book, always only you)
  • Just in general the mental health portrayal
  • The romantic relationship was so very cute

In spite of this, i found myself bored for most of the book and desperate for it to end. But this could've very likely been because of the mood i was in while reading it.

Chloe Liese can do no wrong! The Bergman Brothers Series is absolute perfection and an all time favorite of mine. This book is no different. I adore Sebastian and Ziggy. I love how self-assured Ziggy is and how supportive she is to everyone around her. Seeing her growth across the books has been great. As for Sebastian omg talk about some quality pining!! This man had it so bad. While he was too hard on himself, I appreciated how much effort he put into himself and to be a better version he felt was deserving of Ziggy. I loved how sweet their friendship was. As always Chloe’s books make you feel all the feels- as if you are wrapped in a blanket and getting the world’s best hug. Everyone needs to run out and grab this book!

I absolutely adored this book! The torturous slow burn was so worth it in the end. However, I do wish we got to see more of Ziggy and Seb coupled up. They don’t get together together until the very end of the book. 

The fake friends with minor bennies to actual friends who have feelings for each other but aren’t ready for a relationship to FINALLY lovers was a lot, but of course Chloe made it work for them. 

Seeing more of the entire Bergman family in this book was such a delight, especially Ren and Frankie. 

Thank you Chloe and Netgalley for the early copy!
