This book was hilarious and adorable. I enjoyed the premise of having one guy who is a total mess and another guy who seems totally put together slowly unraveling that they both need support and want to work on themselves. I really felt the development in their emotional connection, and they both act very human in that they make mistakes and apologize and forgive. 

I didn't love how their fights at the end played out, because I was hoping they would find more stability by the end of the book rather than continuing to seek acceptance.

Note: I wrote this review in 2025, over 6 months after reading, so this is based on memory.
