It took some time getting into the story
But I loved the inclusion of mental health issues because they sometimes seem not to fit in romantic contexts but actually should be represented in romantic stories because some people have mental health issues and they are still worthy of love even if they themselves don't feel that way.
So thank you to the author for making me hopeful, thank you for writing this story :)

- MLM
- dual POV
- Reality tv (Bachelor-like) setting
- amazing LGBTQIA+ rep
- phenomenal mental health rep
THIS WAS SO STINKIN' CUTE!!! I'm honestly obsessed! Charlie and Dev have my heart forever. A MUST for anyone who watches reality tv shows it was such a fun take on that setting. (I don't watch them, and still loved this, so really it's for any queer romcom fans!). I really enjoyed both Dev and Charlie's journey through self-discovery, finding their identities and mental well-being.
Ok one caveat with the audiobook is that the narrator *kinda* makes it sounds like Dev's name is Dave (Dev is just pronounced D-ay-v) - so I just had to mentally picture 'Dev' every time.
3/5🌶️
