I received this book as a digital ARC from the author. I have not read any of her other work before. And how gorgeous is this cover?? I was SO excited when I got the ARC!

This was SO good! I really loved every moment of it -- though I knew I loved it right around the time they do their first presentation together.
SpoilerJason being all proud and happy with how his presentation went and the IMMEDIATE humiliation he felt after when Marco made a joke about him? OH MY GOD, I got that chest pain/nausea feeling I get when I've read some good angst, and I felt soooo bad for Jason and so angry at Marco in that moment


I just REALLY loved this book. The characters, the concept of them travelling around the UK, the angst. Tyler the Rottweiler! I LOVED Jason - I felt a real connection to him, and adored his golden retriever energy. And Marco was a bit of an asshole - but a loveable one. He's like a mean cat that you still really want to have sit in your lap.

There's only one mild sex scenes (frottage), and I was maybe expecting another sex scene after that? But honestly it wasn't necessary. Also please bare the CW at the top of my review in mind because the story can get heavy at times.
