Izzy and the Right Answer by R. Cooper
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up for great ace rep.
Someone else mentioned in a review that this author often writes from the POV of the more introverted and clueless character in a relationship. For the most part that doesn't bother me, but I could see others being a bit frustrated. Izzy is ace and I would venture to say he's also on the autism spectrum. He doesn't experience emotions the way other people do, and has to experience things his own way to truly learn them.
As a result, this is a slow, sweet book about someone discovering they can have feelings of love and romance, and then discovering they can have them for more than one person at once. It feels a little like a modern fairytale at times, and occasionally I wanted Rocco and Ronnie to sit him down and spell out what was going on, but they got there in the end.
There were a couple of spots where the names were switched; I'm sure it was just something missed in the final edit, easy to miss with two similar names for main characters.
