4.5

I loved this book even more than the first. Gabe and Michelle's relationship is just amazing and so believable. I loved the connection between both characters as childhood friends. The fanfiction segments and how it's incorporated into the story is so good and sweet and satisfying. I also just love the casual bisexual representation and it brings me immense joy. As with the previous book, I adore the side cast and the exploration of family relationships both positive and negative. The angst and character growth were just immaculate. I didn't quite like the actual surrounding plot of the gym as much as I did the last book but I still adored this book.

I'm so excited for the next book and I cannot recommend this book enough.

5.0

Although I liked the plot of YOU HAD ME AT HOLA more than this one, I adored this romance more. The relationship between these two is written perfectly! Also, was not mad about how often smut scenes were. Although, I do think the ones in the first book were slightly steamier. This was overall, a book I was fully emotionally invested in. Tears may or may not have been shed. I adored all the conversations Alexis Daria managed to insert seamlessly into their storylines. I do wish she would stop using the terms 'male' and 'female', though. Especially since trans characters are in all her books. It's jarring seeing TERF wording in books by vocal allies. To end this on another positive note, both protagonists are ON PAGE bisexual. This book being queer was such a delight!!
