Another book that spent  way too much time in my reader before I read it. And it was another fantastic one! 

Jonah and Dylan are as different as people can be, each with their own problems but still in the same friend group. 

It was so good to see that they were able to figure out their situations before

getting together for real. Though them breaking up was a catalyst for Dylan to look for his brother

.

The book dealt with some heavy topics so it's definitely not for everyone, but I'm glad all the possible triggers are listed right in the beginning. The list is not vague, but has a detailed description in what way it is appearing.

amazing! i went into the book thinking it would be a short enemies to lovers story, and came out with not only that but a heartbreaking and beautiful story about two characters learning how to move through their trauma and finding comfort in each other. already want to reread it and can’t wait for other books that amanda woody will write!

Obsessed, basically listened for 10 hours straight. An "I can fix him but wait I need to fix myself" masterpiece.

Easily relatable and heartfelt. This is a slow burn love story that makes you desperately root for love to conquer all of life’s misgivings.

I knew this was going to be a 5 star read from the jump. I loved it so much!!! My beautiful bisexual babies with the world on their shoulders!!! They’re enemies, they’re lovers, they’re fake dating, they’re comforting each other and figuring out the world together! I ate it all up. I thought the tough topics were handled with care and I fell in love with these boys and their stories.

Jonah broke my heart, Dylan was such a well-written character. I loved how they both slowly realized not only their feelings but also that they had people who were just there for them, no questions asked. 
Wonderfully written enemies-to-lovers storyline, both heartbreaking and hopeful. (Also, Dylan was so caring and Jonah deserves all the hugs and naps.)
