5.0

This is such a comfort book!!! I love the characters and the way Henry and Alex are written. Some would say it’s idealized, but I don’t mind it at all. It’s not meant to be groundbreaking and it’s definitely meant to be a “perfect world” type of deal. I could totally see myself coming back to this when I need someone to cheer me up.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Sexual content and Homophobia

Minor: Racism and Religious bigotry

Some people will describe the sex scenes as “graphic” but that is not the case at all. There is sexual content, but it is mostly “fade-to-black” and is not any worse than what you would see/hear on an adult TV show. This is new adult, not YA!
