Thank you so much for the ARC!!
My unbiased review is that I enjoyed this book! I give it 3.5 stars ❤️
This book was good, it features two guys: John and Isamu, as well as Inu, the service dog!
The main characters evolve from strangers, to friends and then lovers. There is also some good, forced proximity going on too.
It was a heavy read, but also a cute one.
Both main characters have kind of given up on love, and aren't really looking for anything long term. They are struggling through life, getting through it the best they can.
I liked the characters in the friend group, they all felt unique and fleshed out. I liked their banter together too!
What I wasn't the biggest fan of was all the politics, it's important, I know, but I often use reading as an escape from it. Not a huge dealbreaker, but just felt it should be mentioned!
I also would have loved to see more pining or tension, sure it builds up, but it would be perfect if you got into their minds more with it!
With a slow burn book, especially.
I would also love an epilogue that maybe checks back in on them in the future, because that could be a fun concept! See what they're up to and how their relationship has grown.
