 This was such a sweet & Low angst read , which I really enjoyed. There were loads of cute moments between Leo & Finn. Everyone was just so lovely in this book 😍I also loved Niccolo so much ( I need to read his book 🤗) Finns family were just the best and perfect 🤩🥹.

This was an enjoyable read for this time of the year as a way to wind down from all the heavier reads over the past few months
.
I’ll sum it up as a very cosy book about two strangers who become good friends who then use dares to push each other out of their comfort zone and work on anxiety & issues with personal doubts … and end up developing very strong feelings for each other along the way. They get to share a lot of first together as well. 🥰🥰
