This was such a fun romp! Absolutely loved how much representation was in this, you had characters who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and there are discussions about the asexuality spectrum. Also lots of discussions and representations of mental health, primarily depression, anxiety, and OCD. The main couple had decent chemistry and the plot was cute. The antagonist was a bit over the top and the main couple's timeline from getting to know each other to love was pretty fast. Still, this is such a lively story that I enjoyed thoroughly!
