I liked it.
A fluffy, casual m/m romance. It doesn’t say or do anything very uncommon, and the plot won’t surprise you with a thousand twists and turns. It doesn’t connect all the dots and sometimes you feel like you’ve been cheated out of reading things that were interesting (Joe getting his boss kicked out, for example). But if fluff and a feeling of fuzzy warmth are your thing, you'll probably like it.
One thing I really liked were the small details that Kristen inserts here and there – like the characters eating chocolate that’s been dunked in black coffee. They're fun little touches that are nice to keep in mind.
Another thing I enjoyed: the novella isn’t focused on sexual desire. It’s not that the two characters are not interested in each other (they are), or that they don’t get in bed together (they do), but it isn’t used as *the* driving motor of their relationship. And it’s entirely unapologetic about the lack of sexy tidbits, which is, frankly, refreshing.
Overall? A book that fans of fluffy, romantic, casual stories might enjoy reading.
