Fun, sweet, a bit emotional, and a whole lotta swoon.

This is exactly the read I was needing.

Alexander has high expectations for himself, and for everyone around him. His quest for perfection has left him lonely. Logan has never been taken seriously by anyone and doesn’t feel like he’s good enough. While Alexander demands too much of others, Logan doesn’t demand enough.

I loved both of these characters so much. It’s rare to find a book where I enjoy reading both of the leads as much as I enjoyed reading these men.

Due to the nature of Alexander’s bet with his brother, Nico, Alexander has to agree to pretty much anything his new roommate asks of him. Logan, pretending to be the exact opposite of Alexander, asks a lot. This leads to some fun hijinks, and some even better banter. Alexander’s dry wit is one of my favorite things in this book.

I admit I was a little worried that this book would be a downer for me. Logan is playing the part of a MAGA super fan. Unfortunately, I have too much experience with the type of person Logan was pretending to be. I was afraid the political aspect would bring too much of my real world into my escapism. I shouldn’t have worried. The political stuff plays out fairly light. So, if you’re like me and wondering if you’re going to be able to stand all of the cringeworthy behavior, just know that it doesn’t get serious.

The relationship between Alexander and Logan flows well. There is a bit of a slow burn. If you’re familiar with Anyta Sunday, then you already know that she is the Queen of the Slow Burn. I don’t think this one is quite as slow burn as some of her other work. Either way, it moves at a good pace. I wasn’t bored for a second.

All in all, this is just a great read. You won’t be sorry.
