Why hasn't The Bachelor done a queer series? I mean, obviously I know why. I maintain my point.
I feel like this story was overall unmemorable. Granted, I kept comparing it to One to Watch, which I love with all my heart and soul and devoured in one sitting, and those are some big shoes to fill. The writing was meh - most of the quotes that I marked were funny instead of hit-you-in-the-gut - which is in vein with the other Cochrun books I've read. I feel like Charlie has some other issues aside from the OCD and anxiety that were alluded to but brushed off. Dev was annoying, as much as I loved his active portrayal of a depressive episode.

I stayed up til 5am reading this in one sitting and I’m obsessed. Charlie and Dev are so cute, the banter was funny, and I SOBBED on more than one occasion. Amazing rep of different sexualities and mental illnesses that really hit home in a lot of ways. I didn’t want it to end!

This book was a very enjoyable read. Finished it really fast and liked it a lot. What I loved the most was the mental health rep and the asexual rep. Charlie and Dev were so relatable is several ways and at times I cried because of it.
The reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it was written by a white woman and it shows. The characters felt relatable to me but I feel like they weren’t realistic in a “male sort of way” (whatever that’s supposed to mean, I don’t really understand myself). Also, the non white representation was just meh; barely there at all.
