I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved it. Darian is my absolute favorite person, he is so sweet and genuine. Ash was okay, I'm still a little mad at him. Ash's POV was interesting as he's a more complicated character. The only thing I didn't love was the writing. It was just not my favorite style.

Before anyone reads this they should go Google was an Essex accent sounds like to get the full effect of Darian. I loved him so so much. He was so sweet, charming, adorable. He should've made Ash work harder in the end, but he's just too good of a person. Ash struggled a lot being bipolar depressive with clinical anxiety. And he was also kind of an asshole, but I didn't not like him. I thought his dry humor was hilarious, I just wanted him to treat Darian better. And Darian might've forgiven him but I'm still struggling after what he said about him. We all know Darian is a better person anyways. 

The plot was character driven, focusing on Ash overcoming some of his internal conflict with his disease and its effect on the relationships in his life. 

I struggled a bit with the writing style. I'm not sure if it was a character choice, like since Ash is a writer his inner monologue is a bit flowery. I didn't mind how it was a little disjointed but I wasn't feeling some of the word choice or metaphors.
