Tropes: opposites attract, miscommunication
Enjoyed the musical parts of this story the most, but found the gratuitous sexual content too much. The texting was a more realistic part of the relationship development than the in-person stuff, which was essentially all Insta-lust, all the time. An enjoyable read, regardless. I did feel sorry for the MMC and the way he was treated by so many people.
