This story was well-written and great fun! I wasn't fully loving it at first, but then I really started to like the main characters and the romance was super sweet, plus I loved the nerdiness and MMO stuff. This book was right up my alley in the relationship dynamic, and I actually liked that there never was any fake dating really. The characters have this awesome and homely relationship pretty early on that starts out as a great gaming friendship. The discussion on being bi and demisexual was also done quite well. There are certainly some purposefully annoying and even hateful characters in this book, but they pretty much get taught a lesson as much as was possible in the end, and it was nice to see. I was so honed in on what Aiden was telling his mother and brother at the end and was super fired-up and proud of him. Loved the wholesome relationship overall, which had hardly any miscommunication, just a first incident that was more funny than annoying.
