the relationship between characters in Nothwell’s novels always avoid reliance on toxic tropes, and it’s been a huge comfort to read his gay pairings for me. i started with fiorenzo and will now read anything attached to his name!

On the other hand, it's too long. Some of the backstory stuff could have been handled quicker and there was at least one too many episodes of convalesence. I sympathised greatly with Fiore's medical trauma, but the amount of repetiveness given to it was excessive. Because of those reasons, the pacing felt wrong in a few places.

I loved this. Fiore and Enzo are so sweet, I adore them. Also it's a dual POV, so you know that both of them are a mess and constantly pining for the other. And you get some important moments told from both POV's, which YES! I need that in more books.
