I had been anticipating this one for a while and it didn't disappoint. A brilliant little story, covering a broad array of thought in a conservative page count. The time and place were so grounded, they were transportive. I loved the primary characters and the variations of their relationships. I did think there were a few too many background characters, and I wouldn't have minded a few more pages for a further exploration of polyamory, aromanticism, and boundaries, but I was wholly pleased by the story as-is.

My primary criticism is that one doesn't decline Latin verbs, one conjugates them.

Not First in Series and Not First by Author (fourth by author)
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: This has been on my TBR pile the longest of any of my books - since July. I probably added it after reading Ms. Charles' The Will Darling Adventures.
This was a sweet story with some steamy bits and a happy ending.
Will I read more of the series / author?     Probably Not     Maybe    Highly Likely This is not a series, but I will seek out other books by the author.
The narrator was Cornell Collins. He is lovely and it's been so long since I listened to him in The Will Darling Adventures that I was able to hear the characters as new.
