This book was amazing. I loved the concept and the characters are so loveable and funny. (and the narrators were great too)
I loved Dev and Charlie and their relationship and their dynamics. Their banter was so funny and charming and I really feel like I got to know them as I read it. And it was so perfect for me who was looking for a cute fluffy romance after re reading RWRB and craving more of that cuteness to fill the void of loneliness in my soul.
And the way that mental illness was discussed was so perfect and the portrayal of depression and OCD and other panic and anxiety disorders was so real and genuine and I felt like it described what I feel. I could really relate to Dev and it made it feel like more of a personal read even though the relationship isn’t one I can relate to at all. It really helped me connect with the characters and care about them more.
I absolutely adored the ending and I loved how the author didn’t rely on an infuriating “outing” plot. I really felt like the ending was earned and genuine and it felt authentic and allowed the characters to be so genuinely happy without being pressured to reveal themselves without being ready.
Also, I NEED a sequel about Daphne and how she finds love because she deserves it and I would love to hear her story!!
In conclusion, everyone needs to read this book and Dev and Charlie deserve the world. (I’m looking at you Sam lol)
