I consumed this story with the enthusiasm of a scuba diver whose oxygen supply is depleted and needs their partner to assist them because drowning in not an option.
It was a one shot read, I could not put it down and that has not happened with me and YA in a very, very long time.
Which means I thought it was great.
It was really cute and queer and just lovely. Like it hit the spot, annoying and irritating main character Neil with his first person perspective and everything.
It had all the fake dating and wedding nonsense that I wanted and expected, and page 233 of the hardcover edition was the most seamless transition of pronouns I’ve ever come across in YA ever.
Neil was an asshole that I couldn’t help but be compelled to read about. Wyatt was the sweetest roommate and love interest I’ve had the pleasure of reading about in a while, and their growing relationship was only surpassed by Wyatt and showering. I cannot name a stronger duo.
I teared up twice because I’m hormonal, I fluttered my hands at the end because we live for a full circle moment and I was really satisfied by the end of my reading experience.
This has all the potential to be my favourite YA read of the year so if you’re in the contemporary romance mood I definitely recommend.
