Dude this book was so fucking cute my chest hurt reading it. It's got only one sex scene but the emotional turmoil this put me through more than compensates for the lack of titillating content if you know what I mean.
Harper is such a strong character and her anxiety and panic disorder is folded into that really well. I loved also how caring Dan was, how willing he was to work within Harper's boundaries and flirt with her (consent given obviously) until she was coaxed out of her shell. I was also really glad that his character allowed for him to put his foot down when it seemed like emotionally he was getting the shorter end of the stick. It was a great balance of both characters setting boundaries and learning to fit each other into their lives.
Lovely story!
