I loved this book, it's beautifully written and takes place in such beautiful locations, with delicious food descriptions and of course an excellent romance. I loved Theo, who reminds me strongly of myself and finally gave me some nonbinary representation that I can really relate to. I couldn't put it down for the first half of the book, but the second half lost me a little bit. It was still just as beautifully written, but the romance lost the tension that had originally kept me on the edge of my seat.
