Much like the first book, there are glaring problems and questionable character choices but maybe because I happen to like a few of these troupes already, angst, slow burn, childhood friends to lovers, I didn't really mind the fanfic-y nature of this book.

The angst was worth it.

AH so good! I’m pretty sure this was only supposed to be a series of two books but I would really… love a couple more… EYES EMOJI…

Nicholas and Seiji are just the best, and I am the world’s number one fan of Seiji’s dad. Truly would love to see their story get a completed arc the way Harvard and Aiden’s has!

This book was a bit more enjoyable than the first, although it had the same pros and the same issues for me.

I loved reading about Nicholas and Seiji and couldn't stand Aiden and (to a lesser degree) Harvard's drama and miscommunication.

I mean, I loved their conclusion but all their path towards it...no.

Seiji's father knows more about Seiji than Seiji himself and it's endearingly hilarious.

Cute enough, but the "miscommunication = plot & conflict" that impacted the first book was like 90% of this one and therefore not REALLY my favourite. I do love myself a vulnerable drama queen lashing out at other people so that was fun, but when half of your book could have been avoided by people talking to each other without narratively deliberate miscommunication it's a bit like... eh.

Some good moments, and I'll still grab the next in the series as soon as it's available (whatever format it ends up being), and Seiji had some good fun development.
SpoilerHis growing relationship with his father in the novels is just... chefkiss.
