This was a really sweet friends to lovers story, but it wasn't exactly what I expected going in. It starts out in the present, but quickly flashes back to the boys meeting in 2nd grade, and then proceeds to pretty much tell their life story, told in little snippets through the years. Matt moving to town, Matt moving away, Matt moving back, David being smart and shy and awkward, and it was all really sweet.

I had started to wonder why there was never ANY talk about the boys' sexuality. It was David telling their story, but nothing ever got said about girlfriends or boyfriends, being straight or gay, or awkward moments, or ANYTHING, until maybe 75% of the story, when the guys are 22, and they both finally get girlfriends for a little while. That was all a bit weird to me, but I suppose it made sense later on, and all in all, this was just a really sweet story, but quite light on the romance, with barely any steam. It's really more of a growing up, coming of age story than anything else, but that's ok, so long as you know what's in store, and what isn't.
