Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I had such a blast reading this book. It's fun and sweet and kind, filled with both funny and tender moments. I would move to this charming & inclusive little town with its fun cast of characters in a heartbeat. I really liked both MCs, but Matthias and his neurospicy little brain (specifically autistic) hold a special place in my heart. He was so relatable.

I didn't expect the final bit of drama, and it wasn't my preference, especially past the 85% mark. The book is incredibly soft and sweet and kind, and so I felt like this drama (

Matthias and Owen getting outed as a couple

) was out of place. That said, the author did a good job of resolving it and it led to some really sweet moments.

The epilogue was great, exactly what I want in a one year later follow up.

Thanks to the author for an ARC! I can't wait to read Harry and Lando's book.
