I really enjoyed this book, which had been recommended to me by a trusted friend. The narrator was a strange choice, and not one I necessarily would have gone with, as he just sounded too stuffy for either Alex or Henry. But if you can get past the narration then there’s nothing not to love. I laughed and cried many times along with our sweet lovers and I definitely need a “in 10 years” follow up. And I’m also immediately going to read everything else Casey McQuiston has written. I’m already a fan of their work just from this one book. This is my first foray into reading queer romance, so if you’re on the fence definitely give this book a go, and I think, like me, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
