I absolutely loved this story, it was such a beautiful book and one that I'll be thinking about for quite a while. Both the main characters were so easily likable and the story as a whole was infused with a plethora of sweetness and comfort!

Jason was such a wonderful character, he's so understanding, sweet and kind and exactly the kind of person Emerson deserves in his life. I loved his nickname for Emerson and how from the very beginning he accepted Emerson for who he was, unconditionally. While Emerson was Jason's opposite, he was also such an endearing and relatable character. His autism was so well written and you could tell the author took a lot of care in the representation of his character, which made the story really special.

There were lots of soft touches, comforting moments and sweet interactions between the MCs that made me swoon. Many of the moments between Jason and Emerson left me unable to stop smiling, they were such a brilliant and joyous couple!

Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was such a special story and I'd definitely recommend it! 😊

I've been looking forward to Vas's story since meeting him in Shots On Net and J.J. didn't disappoint!

Henri is the sweetest, most loveable MC with so much kindness to give. Atlas on the other hand is a grumpy jerk from the start, he's cynical and doesn't believe in love but no matter how hard he tries to avoid it, he ends up falling for Henri. The more we get to know Atlas we see that he's trying to keep everyone at arms length to protect himself and Henri is exactly the kind of person Atlas doesn't want, but needs in his life.

There were so many sweet moments in this book such as the apple gifts, and I loved all the small touches and interactions between the two characters. 

Though Max and Luke are still my favourites (🤭), I really enjoyed Henri and Atlas's story and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
