Rep: Gay MLM Main characters

This book went through a lot (definitely check the trigger warnings before you read it). It has an amazing found family feeling and the two main characters feeling safe to be their true self and reveal hobbies that they have without thinking they will be judged. It's about hopes and dreams and ambitions and discovering that you can be good at something or enjoy something if you just give it a go. I loved this book.
