I enjoyed this book a lot. I appreciated the aro representation in it, and the way that identity was respected throughout the book. Wren never changed who he was in pursuit of understanding his feelings for Percy. The spectrum of aromanticism is vast, and discovering you have feelings for someone doesn't mean your identity is suddenly invalid. The chemistry between Percy and Wren was really well written, and Percy's submissive side was a fit perfectly with Wren's commanding one. I'm always a big sucker for an anxious bean, and Percy was such a sweet, anxious man, I loved his character so much. This book had a heaping helping of miscommunication trope, but I felt like it was done in a way that wasn't too agonizing. I'm excited to read the next book when it comes out!
