80 pages was not long enough to make this story live up to the potential that it had.
Suki Fleet's signature move is making us feel ALL THE FEELS thanks to broken people finding homes with each other (my absolute fave trope). And this story is no different. Here however, Xavi reminds us regularly that he and Sam don't actually know each other that much, they almost never talk about themselves... For me this causes a disconnect. How can they love each other this intensely if they don't actually know each other? So, despite making me feel the intense belonging these boys experience, I wasn't as into it as I could have been if they'd spent more time making sure they knew each other.
The shortness also made for patchy connexion at times, paragraphs that didn't flow as well as Suki's other stories usually do.
