Charlie is absolutely adorable, my favourite type of character. There's a strong emphasis on mental health, but I still found it easy reading. Just a nice sweet gay romance. Really liked the premise, it felt like an AU fanfic in all the best ways.
Devoured it in one sitting. There was a dumb third act break up, but that's just a given in this type of book and it didn't go on for too long so I didn't really mind that much.
