I had a lot of fun reading this book it was so sweet!!! The first half of the book had me hooked; Dylan and Theo’s interactions were the best I loved them soo much and Theo really was so charismatic. I thought they had good chenistry whenever they talked, and the romantic/sensual tension was so great! The second/third act conflict was where it felt a little weak and ridiculous

i know the book is very tropey and fun but how the stuff with bernard and theo’s dad played out dipped a little too far into drama tropes for me to work as an actual conflict

, but the reconciliation between the leads brought me back I loved them and the baking competition scene. This book is a “everything is beautiful and nothing hurts” wrapped up happy ending and I don’t mind it at all; sometimes you just want something heartwarming and lovely and I was in the perfect mood for it! Hope Dylan gets super spoiled by his new rich boyfriend~
