I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did! With most romance stories I struggle to buy the development of the relationship within the defined time but here it kind of made sense? It’s the nuanced discussions of mental health for me, they didn’t have to be so real with those (yeah fine ok I will start looking for a new therapist again). 

The conversations around asexuality and demisexuality made me tear up every time and need more books like that so badly (also more than one aspec character in my silly little book? In this economy???)

I was going to give this five stars until Choices Were Made at the ending that were just really weird to me?

Like?? I’m sorry but it’s one thing to show up in the background of scenes accidentally but it’s an entire different thing to be deliberately edited into an entire season without consent and I just don’t buy the little thing he signed as an excuse.

A really fun read - I wasn’t sure how I’d like the reality TV storyline, but it was done really well. Super diverse cast of characters, very lovable - captured my heart quickly and I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend.

The Charm Offensive was a great story, but I didn't enjoy the writing as much as other books. I love that the characters show they care for each other, and for the most part I find the depictions of different forms of mental health disorders accurate.

so cute, loved the diverse mental health & queer rep. the concept of this book is what got me interested and it was executed so well. a really nice and easy read, definitely the best queer romcom i've read so far.
