Assdfgghjkll THIS BOOK IS THE DEFINITION OF A WARM HUG.
This was adorable! The sweetest people falling for each other. 
So domestic. UGH.
The kindness. The consideration. The attention. The LOVE.
I will not get over how everything was perfect. How there was so little angst (only just some scares around some homophobic teammates but even that was brilliantly addressed and turned around).
THESE MEN.
Ugh.

This is the way I review books now. With phrases that make no sense. Because my heart is just overwhelmed.

Just a couple of things I picked up on I need to write down because I don't want to forget them:
- Alex telling Hawk, Eli's service dog, how glad he is that she's there because she takes such good care of Eli.
- Eli asking if they can take it slow and not get into sex right now. Alex being fine with it. Not talking about sex for the test of the book. Them still falling in love and never questioning the fact they haven't had sex.
- Domesticity.
- No jealousy towards friends.
- Not always saying or doing the right thing first, but making it right straight away, learning, and making up for it in the absolute best way.
