“I’d rather spend the worst day of my life with you, than the best day with someone else.”

Gosh, I had forgotten how good this book is. It’s an incredible story. Beautiful, heartbreaking and funny. I love how identity is a big part of the story, and how it doesn’t matter if you’re 15, 30 or 34. You’re never too young or too old to figure yourself out. There’s a huge part of the book I can’t talk about without spoiling so much of it (check the content warnings if you’re curious), but even without that very important part, the rest is just a solid love story with two fab main characters. They have amazing chemistry and the banter is top tier. It’s also super British, and I love it.

It’s also sort of single dad x2 with a twist, as one of the MCs is the guardian of his brother. I love single dad stories, but I love it even more when the characters feel complete outside of just being ‘dad’.

I would definitely check the content warnings as it can be pretty rough, but if you’re good with them or don’t have any triggers, I would definitely give this a try. I’m obviously biased as hell, but this story is amazing.

I’m scared… I didn’t think I’d spoken my fear aloud, I certainly hadn’t meant to, until Seb cradled the back of my neck and brought my head down to his shoulder. “I’m scared too,” he whispered, kissing my hair. “But I’ve got you, Olli. I’ve got you.”

Also, this is me through like half of the book, with laughter sprinkled in:



Double also, I love drag queen characters. Miss Tique is fabulous.

Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t want to sleep with everybody, and there weren’t twice as many fish in the sea, because most fish thought I was confused, greedy, unfaithful, trying to be trendy, or afraid to admit I was gay.

There I went again, thinking of relationships. I’d only had one conversation with this man, and even that was accidental. At this rate I’ll have married him by the morning.

Crossing one leg over the other, he leaned forward and rested his chin on his fist. “Are you flirting with me?” “Is it working?” Grinning, he blew a single puff of laughter through his nose. “Show me to your bedroom.”
