I think this is my favorite Mason Deaver book I’ve read. The writing is still a bit clunky, a bit tedious, but I was also blushing giggling kicking my feet, so I forgive its flaws.

Cute story. Love how the main theme is loving someone dispite there mistakes. Learning though what you are doing. Acknowledging when you fuck up and not denying or down playing what you have done. The growth from both of the them and how they become better people in the end.

I was so excited when I found out Mason Deaver was writing an adult romance novel. Deaver has been one of my must-buy authors since I read I Wish You All The Best, a book I have reread at least once a year for the past few years. 

I really like Deaver’s writing style and their character work. Eli and Peter were written in true romcom fashion. They’re both flawed people, but watching them grow and fall in love was so much fun. I found myself grinning at this book on more than one occasion, as their flirting was very sweet and although I wanted to reach through the book and shake Eli sometimes, I found this book to be very readable and so much fun. 

The chapter titles were clever and made me smile when I saw them too! 

I just think the conflict resolution was a little too easy, but I think the book wrapped up quite well, and I’m very excited to see what Deaver writes next!
