A cute story about two guys learning to love themselves while also learning how to navigate a relationship together.
I fucking love Sebastian and how he overcame his struggles throughout the story and his confession scene 🥹

I loved this book so freaking much. It literally had me on the edge of tears then entire time I was reading. It was just so cozy that I wanted to stay nestled within it’s pages.
I loved the anxiety and depression rep that was in this book. And Simon is so freaking relatable! I really felt for him to the deepest parts of my heart. I just wanted to give him a hug and play with all the pets. And Jack! I loved his big heart, from taking in all of these animals (and giving them all truly terrible but cute names) that needed a home, to illustrating children’s books, to his relationship with his big brother. And when he opened his heart to Simon??! Ugh! It just about killed me with the cuteness and the fluff.
If you couldn’t tell, I really loved this book and I can’t wait to continue with this series. Better Than People is getting a solid five stars. And I would highly recommend this one!!

The toxic friendship tag is for Jack and his writing partner Davis. Davis stole Jack’s story idea and pitched it as his own and cut Jack out of the deal.
