Listen, I know a majority slice of M/M romance is written by straight cis women and there are tons of thoughts on why this is so. I’m not here to examine that. Just to say that of all the M/M romance written by hetero women I’ve read this was (1) the straightest; and (2) it has a super unsatisfying “HFN.” If your jam is reading about two dudes barely interacting outside of quarterly boring sex scenes for like 7 years and then agreeing to

date in secret for the rest of their professional careers but maybe indefinitely

then have at it. Why on earth does this book have a cult following? Filing this under “bamboozeled again.”
