Napkins and Other Distractions
by M.A. Wardell
emotional
funny
hopeful
medium-paced
Thank you so much to M.A. Wardell for this early print copy of Napkins!! All opinions are my own.
4.5 rounded up. This was my favorite of the Teachers in Love series so far!! I really loved Kent as a character, both understanding himself as a bisexual man and how to better fit in his role at the school. Vincent’s journey throughout was also amazing and felt natural and authentic to the realities of OCD - I really felt like Matt put his heart and soul into accurately representing Vincent’s compulsions.
And, of course, the spice was phenomenal! “Sex acts are sex, full stop” is going to be my new motto - thank you, Ruth, for your wisdom. The two men exploring things they knew they liked, as well as new experiences, was so well done! Vincent and Kent deserve a lifetime of happiness together💕
**Spoilers below**
POV: dual first person
You can expect: older millennial and Gen Z romance, opposites attract, insta-lust, coworkers to lovers, forced proximity, cat dad, low-key dedicated to the “Rumors” album.
Rep: gay main and side characters, bisexual main character, lesbian side character, OCD, panic attack, anxiety.
Spice: 4/5
CW: OCD triggers and compulsions
