That was a GREAT BOOK!! I teared up. Literally so good.
Low-stakes, small town, opposites attract, fantastic autism representation, friends to lovers, SWEETNESS. These two are PRECIOUS and so relatable.
Milo inherits a building from a grandma he didn’t know he had, on an island far from home. The little bookstore is a plus, but maybe not as great as “Tattoo Guy” or Gideon, who rents space in the building for his tattoo shop.
Milo is one of the best characters I’ve read in a long time. He’s nuanced, he’s consistent, he’s funny as hell, he’s relatable, and he’s so unapologetically him. The author does a great job of representing his autism, while not making his whole personality based on his diagnosis. He’s absolutely delightful.
Gideon is also completely lovable. It would be so easy for him to be overshadowed by Milo’s character, but no. He’s so thoughtful, but he’s also human. His insecurities are so relatable. The side characters are also PERFECT. They’re impactful, but don’t take over the story. So well done.
The plot is low stakes and honestly just chill, navigating relationships stuff. But it works so well. I can’t believe this book was almost 400 pages because it felt like it was over so fast. Truly though, it was the perfect length.
I can’t even think of anything that I can critique. It was that good. One of the best contemporary romances I’ve read ever. ❤️
