Honestly I was sold from the opening line: 

“𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄’𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚. 𝘼𝙡𝙨𝙤, 𝙄’𝙢 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙙𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙨.”

& hooked even further when chapter two had me crying. 

Lochland and Dario are just too adorable for words, and I loved their sweet friendship (and eventual relationship).
