The Feeling of Falling in Love (the perfect title for this book, btw) tells the story of Neil, a trans boy who finds himself in the middle of a fake dating trope when he has to take his roommate, Wyatt (the sweetest person in existence), as his +1 to his brother's wedding, because his previous date, Josh (and the guy he is friends-with-benefits) has just confessed he is in love with Niall 👀🤭...
At first, Wyatt (correctly) thinks Neil is acting like a jerk, but when they get to LA, Wyatt sees a little more of where it's coming from: his family history and childhood of neglect and transphobic relatives. Slowly, Neil and Wyatt begin to understand one another… and maybe, just maybe, fall in love for the first time.
There's enough drama, heartbreak, fluff and falling-in-love to enjoy 💕😍. The rom-com format is incredibly well written, Mason Deaver did a wonderful job with his characters, tropes, storylines and lessons. A love story about the bad decisions we sometimes make and the people who helps get back on the right track 🥰🧡
