They are really selling me on the cute covers. This one was adorable and I'd thought I'd check it out.
The story follows Cooper, returning to visit a farm he grew up and worked on in the summer of his youths and how he doesn't want to admit his crush for Whit so instead antagonizes him. This has a lot of the classic rom com tropes- almost willfully ignorant or naive lead character, people's inability to communicate, and people misreading situations.
Overall I liked it. It was fun to read about queer farmers falling for each other and this book had some spice to it too. The spicy scenes were better written than some of the other books I've read.
I think my main issue was that it needed more editing. Some passages felt unnecessarily dense and wordy. It's a good read though and I'll read more from Kit Oliver.
