This story was amazing and perfect. I absolutely loved the rep, the artistic nerdiness, the characters, the plot, just everything. The relationship between Noah and Sage was just so incredibly realistic, warm, sappy, painful, adorable, just everything you enjoy reading in a romance book. I would really love a sequel just to find out what happens next in their life.

Omg this book was so cute!!! I loved that! And just the characters and the relationships the character development it was so good! I loved that they talked about important topics and how hard it is to be an artist and that you should put your health first! I loved it so much and the ending it was PERFECTION! The proposal was so cute with the comic on the wall and that they both proposed at the same day so adorable!!! I would recommend it!

Am I the only person who thought this was YA/college-age for some reason? If not, let me assure you this is, in fact, very adult. Three-chapter long spicy scene kind of adult lol 

I really enjoyed this story and characters. I’m not normally an enemies/rivals to lovers girlie, but this one was great. The little quips and banter were perfect. I also really appreciated that Noah and Sage both had lives and issues outside of each other. Characters feel more real that way.

There were elements of the story that didn’t feel fully fleshed out to me, hence the four instead of five stars, but I still definitely recommend Outdrawn. Looking forward to more from this author!

I adored Sage and Noah so much! Seeing their rivalry, peeling back the layers of their characters, their backgrounds and letting them find strength through each other. I loved this book so much❤️❤️❤️

This is a really sweet adult romance! It's a rivals-to-lovers story between two comic artists. 
Sage and Noah were both such deep, well developed protagonists. They were like real people, flawed but good, the ideal way for characters to be in a contemporary novel!
The side characters had just enough development to be lovable, but not too little! 
The romance was amazingly written, it didn't seem unrealistic.
The comic competition was such an interesting past to the story, and I thought the ending was perfect!!!

All I can say is wow this book was amazing. Each time I read I find a song that matches each character, turns out I had an entire playlist that matched this book perfectly.  I chose Myspace & I’m not god by Samoht and love quotes by Jenevieve and Bloody Samaritan by Ayra Starr for Noah. 

They had the perfect rivals to lovers relationship with barely a drop of miscommunication. Both began to realize they were missing each opportunity to be something more by having such career tunnel vision. Both had the need to prove themselves and be seen/ heard but wouldn’t discuss it. 

I saw so much of myself in both Noah & Sage that the resemblance became a little uncanny. Seeking approval, silently asking for help, and burning out to the point it felt like my head would crack open. Pulling yourself out a hole like that is very hard but when someone is there to help the weight is easier to carry. 

This was a very beautiful and intimate slow burn that gets infinite stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️♾️
