This was so fucking good! The truest definition of friends to lovers I have read yet. Becca just writes such well-rounded characters. I was crying on the plane while I read this because Leo goes through so much and it takes him a long time to truly come into his own and love himself despite his flaws. Finn is the perfect boyfriend but my god don’t tell him that because they’re *just friends* for a painfully long time. I loved their dynamic. The entire story was so sweet! I will be sad when this series comes to a close.
