This is the best romance I’ve ever read and that’s coming from a person who generally does not love the genre. It was so sweet and hit the romance beats without it feeling repetitive or dull. And the rep in this book was SO well done, between the mental illness and ace rep I had chills like the whole time. I just so vividly saw myself in Charlie and he was celebrated for the parts of himself that I have had a hard time accepting in myself. The power of representation, man. It was sweet and fun and maybe I believe in love stories again?
