I really enjoyed this story! The MCs are truly complex, and their arcs and love story aren’t rushed. I love how the MMC is so open with his feelings in the second half, overall the vulnerability of the characters sucked you in. The sad parts of the book mostly surround deaths, and I did cry for one of them… in some ways, I feel like most of the characters don’t grieve as much as I would expect of them for each death… but it also helps to keep the story moving along. The spice of this book is also perfect in my opinion - I loved how raunchy and yet tender they could be, I loved how assertive and nonyielding the FMC was and how she kept the MMC accountable for all of his actions. Overall, a great read! I’m excited to read the next one about Larimar!
