Few books make me actually laugh out loud. But this one did. And I even learnt a thing or two, which I always love

I enjoyed this book for exactly what it is which is a fun, gay, romance. Not life changing but cute nonetheless.

5.0

bighearted and bombastic, truly a joy from start to finish! With a cast of characters that are so believably naïve, sincere, deeply flawed, relentlessly misunderstood and so so easy to root for. The prose are stunning, the humor is razor-sharp and never once felt like it was punching down. 

 McQuiston invites us into the turbulent world of Henry and Alex, who quite possibly two of the best rom-com leads in recent memory, sharing an unbelievable chemistry that just leapt off of the page and into my heart, never to be forgotten. What else is there to except, this was just great, and I can't recommend it enough...
