Genuinely really enjoyable. Nate was, as said, such a lovable character, so well written and I loved the fluidity of it. However, the only think that made me frown was the lack of how Nate’s and Dreo’s relationship actually grew - like the way they knew each other for 4 years and then they just suddenly both irrevocably fell in love with each other - which sure could be said from Dreos side, but not Nate’s, especially beacuse it’s from Nate’s pov and he delves into his inner musings a lot, so it’s a wonder why how and when he even began to see Dreo as a potential partner. I suppose you could argue that there are stages and moments where Nate has some level of infatuation for Dreo but I wished their was a little more of how they built their relationship, especially from non talking neighbours to acquaintances, friends and then to lovers. 

Just a really easy read, not too typical either, to be honest I just enjoyed it. I think all the characters were written really fucking well and the plot was enjoyable and not too predictable / although a little typical 

I don’t know how to word it, but it was good. Not out of this world mind blowing but I’m giving it 4 stars because it was almost, comforting? Great!

In conclusion, I binged this within a day and was highly sleep deprived, but I would recommend if one enjoyed an easy read.
