I happily lost sleep to finish this book – it's 2 AM as I'm writing this review, or more like a note. The book is awesome!
Otter and Boggy are an adorable dreamteam of introverts, who have great chemistry. I love how their characters are written, and how they interact with each other and the world around them. Bogwithch/Maggie is the greatest grump of all time, and Otter/Aiden is the sweetest teddybear.
The plot offers so many funny and emotional moments that I lost count. Alongside all the goofiness, the book also brings up LGBTQ+ identities and the struggles one might have to face when being part of that community. The combination of these elements is very respectful, which I love seeing in a romance.
