I enjoyed this book after about the 30% mark, before then Luc was annoying and pretty hard not to scream at in your head. But by the end, I loved him and Oliver even if I occasionally wanted to slap them upside your heads. I would have liked more spice! But I know if you wish to have a mainstream M/M romance you can't usually get too graphic with that. In the end, I enjoyed it and laughed a lot, as well as cried a bit too.

Det var en stark 4 hela vägen till slutet när Oliver, som jag absolut inte gillade i början men som visade sig ha en väldigt bra karaktärsutveckling 👏🏼, började bete sig lika idiotiskt som Luc gjort under hela boken. Det räckte liksom med en karaktär som var ett emotionellt inkompetent pucko. Det blev även alldeles för mycket will they/won’t they på väldigt kort tid i slutet för min del. 

Blir ändå 3,5 stjärnor eftersom den var både mysig och rolig + otroligt bra inläst!
