5.0

This was such a good book! The characters and story feel natural and the emotional beats don't feel forced. Often times traumatic or complicated backstories can feel contrived, but the author does a great job conveying the facts in an honest way that allows the depth of emotions to gradually be revealed through her storytelling.

It's such a heartwarming story about healing and finding your place in the world. I stayed up all night reading it even when it had me sobbing at 3am.

Somehow this story is still lighthearted even with the deeper topics metioned. 
But it qas a sweet short read with nice tension between the MCs but mainly I just love me a found family.
Spice 1/5

litstyleguide's review against another edition

4.0

This guardianship romance accomplishes a lot in less than 300 pages. 

Loved our MCs; they had great depth and development. Loved the deaf representation and seeing an MMC in therapy. If you like stories with a strong FMC, forced proximity, slow burn, an MMC that looks like they would unalive you but is a cinnamon roll, and one that demands you sit on his 👨, I know you’ll love this.
