I thought this book was phenomenal! The  romance was adoreable and joyful, but what really elevated the book for me was the evolution and growth of the relationship between Eli (a transmasc gay man) and his well-intended-but-dont-always-get-him parents. I loved that Eli and his parents got a happy ending too 😊. I also adored Nick's queer-awakening arc and the way he negotiates co-parenting with his ex-wife.
