I really enjoyed this book; tried reading a physical copy a while back and temporarily DNFed it. I'm glad I picked it back up on audio! I'm usually not into romances from this time period but if there's an LGBTQ+ focus, I'll at least try it.
Especially compared to a book I read just previously, I felt like the topics of grief and loss were handled gently and with nuance, while still keeping the lighthearted tone of the rest of the book. I think that's what I appreciated most. The descriptions of Kit and Percy looking at each other longingly, and of how their love developed, were enjoyable to read and felt naturally paced. The main plot aside from the romance of it all was well thought out and made sense, didn't feel forced like the plots of some romance.
Overall, a fun read and I'd like to check out more by this author!
