“I love you,” Simon says simply, like that’s all it is.
And maybe it is. Maybe it is that simple.
“I love you too,” Bruce answers, and it sounds a lot like, “stay.”

I received a digital copy of the book from a Storygraph giveaway and I’m really happy I did. Also, such a coincidence that I read this during the #transrightsreadathon week 🏳️‍⚧️

I adore stories about lighthouses. I adore stories with cats. And I absolutely adore stories set in cozy towns by the sea. And this book has all three! I really loved the characters, the gender and mental health representation, and the way the relationship between the characters flourished. I think the ending was perfect. I do wish it was a little longer though, so everything could really be elaborated. Nevertheless, I still really liked reading this and I wish to read more of this author’s works.
