I think the dynamic between Richie and Seth is pretty fun, to be honest. Their interactions together are so silly and borderline cheesy at times, but honestly that's what I'm always expecting when reading these types of MM romance books so that's fine.
For some reason the story felt oddly... stagnated (?) once I reached the third quarter of it. So many conflicts were introduced throughout the whole thing one after another in quick succession, which makes me think there wasn't much of a cohesive plan of where the story was really going.
The conflicts included [1] the two of them not knowing who the other was; [2] Telling Seth's brother about their relationship; [3] Love rival Asher? Kinda?; [4] Richie's plan for the future.
All in all, 'twas fun to read anyways. Not phenomenal, but light and fun.
