I really enjoyed this one! It dives into the tension between friendship and something more. Doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable parts. Felt like the tension was slightly forced between the friends at times though. There was also mental health aspect & it was nice to see the gentleness loved ones were able to provide. The story captures the in-between space where nothing is clear, but everything feels high-stakes.

There were times I couldn’t put this book down, but other times where I was a bit bored. Overall I enjoyed it. I love a cinnamon roll MMC and a love triangle.
