I was pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t realised that this was expanded to more than twice the length with the inclusion of a new novella focused on Marius.
Edwin and Adam were sweet and just like I remembered. Not much to add there.
But Marius? What a dick! But he was a dick who stayed true to his dickishness throughout and yet o still ended up wanting him to be happy. His mother, though, what an absolute GEM! She was the highlight of the entire story. lol. Her getting the RICE and RACK acronyms mixed up was simply perfection.
I also loved the shorts at the end about the elderflower wine and pierogi recipes.
