This book was my awakening in the sense I already know I'm bi but I've just realised I've always been into friends to lovers, not enemies to lovers.
These two are just so fucking adorable

Wow, this book was so good! 😍 My face was one big smile through several chapters. The spice was really good and there was plenty of it.
I really loved the relationship between the two MMCs and how it evolved. The whole “dare” element was awesome and had me (internally) squealing 🔥
This was my first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more!

I love a good friends-to-lovers story with confusing feelings and spicy moments, and this one delivered. I loved how Aspen was trying to break down his own walls for Keene while also sorting through his feelings, especially as they dared each other to do things that helped Keene explore his sexuality. Keene’s emotions were so well written—he loved the dares because they were with Aspen, but he was terrified that if his feelings came out, Aspen wouldn’t want to be friends anymore. That fear of losing the friendship was more devastating to Keene than Aspen knowing he loved him. I did take off half a star because I didn’t love how the small bit of angst played out. It was clear a big blowout was coming due to Aspen coming to terms with his feelings for his best friend and fearing he might lose him, while Keene held on to hope that he could confess his romantic feelings without ruining their bond. Still, it was wrapped up nicely, and I appreciated that Keene made Aspen wait a bit before forgiving him and giving a romantic relationship a real chance. This was an adorable, emotional, and heartfelt read that I truly enjoyed.
