I thought this was a very cute and fun gay YA romance! Dylan and Theo are very sweet characters that are easy to root for.
I'm very hit or miss with YA and with romance, but something about this one made me very interested. This book does go through the motions of the usual romance tropes, but they didn't bother me the way use of those tropes usually do. There were some moments where I had to suspend my disbelief, but this book is fiction and maybe some of it can be written off as that's just how rich people are.
Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
