Could this book have been any cuter? Jordan and Hennessy were just precious, and I was giddy the whole way through. Jordan was adorably awkward, and I loved his nervous rambling. It’s not surprising that Hennessy was utterly charmed by him from the start. Their meet-cute was adorable. Jordan first had his eye on Hennessy as the cute guy who rode the same bus as him, but it wasn’t until Jordan’s friend convinced him to attend a local asexual/aromantic support group that they properly met. I loved how the "getting to know you" phase of their relationship plays out in five-minute bus rides. It was so unique and added a sense of urgency and sort of forced them to be authentic because there wasn’t time for anything else. Eventually, they started spending time together outside the bus, but those moments they shared every day after work on the bus were really special.

In addition to the sweetest love story, the asexual representation in this book was excellent. I liked that we had Hennessy, who’s known for years that he was ace, and then we have Jordan, who is just starting to accept that the label might apply to him. It was interesting to see the contrast in those two experiences and the way Hennessy was able to help Jordan on his journey. There was a whole lot I could personally relate to, and I found the book to be very validating in terms of my own experiences. I think this book would be great for anyone interested in learning more about the asexual experience and how it might look different for different people.

Another thing I loved about this book was all the secondary characters. Merry, Angus, Michael, Vee, and let’s not forget the Soup Crew! They were all fantastic, and I loved how they all sort of blended into one friend group by the end. All the characters were so well-rounded and created such a sweet found family. This book was just a delight, and I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it. I swooned, laughed, and even shed a few tears. I won’t be forgetting Jordan and Hennessy anytime soon!
