Cute meet cute, loved the search for each other. The city felt like a character. Loved the two POVs and their thought process of young love. Can’t wait to see what happens next. I understand that they didn’t want to push to have a long distance relationship but also wish they had tried. Loved the scavenger hunt through the city to the first meeting spot. And the twist that the two romper guys were the Dino roommates haha. Interested to see how it goes in the next book.

This was such a cute story, with a fun cast of characters (that the voice actors brought to life beautifully). The conflicts between the guys and their feelings were so realistic. I can’t wait to listen to the sequel, especially after the epilogues!

3.0

I truly enjoyed this book up til the epilogue/last chapter. I know there's a sequel which I presume was planned when this one was written, so I'll probably dislike the ending less after reading that, but the tone shift felt massive and jumping from a place where all the characters were pretty stable and happy in their relationships and what not to the epilogue where

it basically just felt like everything was exploded for no reason

was a Big tonal shift I was not necessarily expecting and don't necessarily feel like added anything besides trying to get people to buy the next book.
