wow, i almost forgot just how wonderful this book is. this is how you deliver a good best friends to lovers story. this is how you do mutual pining. this is how you do character development. this is how you do 1st person pov prose. some of the plot events feel extra convenient, but i'm willing to led them slide because they made the story much more fun.

in some parts the story leaned into a "force-feeding white men the concept of decency" story, but it's probably just monty's reckless no thoughts whatsoever voice that amplified that. the switch-up at the end could've used some enlightening moment though. like i know the author drops hints that monty didn't want to go home and all, but i thought he was still confused about what to do the entire time so a "...Wow, i can't leave percy ever" moment that's NOT done in dialogue would've sealed the deal for me personally

As we cross the threshold, I let slip my resolution for a single second and, like Lott’s wife turned to salt, glance over my shoulder to see if I can spot Percy. He’s right where he was before—on the fringes of the dance floor, but alone now, and looking at me in a way that suggests he’s been doing it for a while.
