Harper and Chase had been best friends since their early college years. They both had a secret they were keeping from the other. Each wanted their best friend to be their life partner, but were worried about feelings being one-sided. Harper's family and friends knew she was in love with Chase. Chase's friends and Harper's family knew he was in love with her. Neither was willing to take the chance of potentially damaging their friendship if a romance didn't work out. Harper felt she was not good enough for Chase. She knew she needed things to be a certain way for her to be comfortable and Chase deserved someone who didn't need those types of adjustments. Chase happily made any changes that made Harper more comfortable. It wasn't something he gave a lot of thought about. If it made Harper happy, he gladly did it. Chase finally decided he would declare his feelings and the moment didn't go as he hoped. Both of them had to look into their hearts to decide what they needed to be happy.
This was cute. I loved both of the main characters. Harper started to explore the possibility of being neurodivergent as the story expanded. She knew that those in her inner circle made her comfortable and safe. Chase was at the center of that circle. Chase didn't think about the things Harper needed in her environment. It was just a part of who she was, period. I loved Harper's family and her relationship with them. It was wonderful how they made Chase part of their family since he was not close with his own. Harper's friends and their significant others saw them as a couple and wanted to do what they could to support that end. Friends to lovers is my favorite romance trope and this story was enjoyable from beginning to end.
