Everyone deserves hugs and to know that someone in the world still worries about them, no matter what they’re doing, or even if they’re mad at one another.

This has been sitting on my shelf awaiting review for far too long, and I literally only kept putting off writing this up because I knew it was going to make me want to drop everything and reread it, and guess what? I was right! 100% restraining myself right now from closing out of this review-in-progress to go curl up with my kindle and relive all of the precious feels with Ruby and Aaron, because I miss them very much.

“I look at you and I can’t stop smiling. That’s all. You’re adorable.”

Straight up, this is one of the slowest-burning romances I’ve ever seen in my life, but it’s worth every moment of waiting, because you get to watch these two form the most beautiful, hilarious, wonderful best-friendship as they fall in love, and it’s just… *wistful sigh* What’s not to love about it? Seriously, it’s incredibly sappy, but if you, like me, have a tendency for falling in love with your best friend (check) and getting to know your crush through text messages and emails (also check—hi, honey!) and swooning over syrupy sweet, protective, funny types (check again!), you can’t pass this one up.
