A bit slow to start but then really enjoyed it. Laughed out loud a few times. Loved pretty much the entire cast of characters. There were some absolutely adorable and sweet moments (pretty much anything that took place in Brighton).

Check the content warnings. Thought this would just be fluffy and there was definitely more to it than that.

Slow burn typically isn’t my thing, so it took me a bit to get into this. I loved how distinct each narrators voice was in their chapters and in their notes. I was expecting the book to be light and fluffy and moderately smutty, but it wasn’t that at all (in a good way). Definitely check CWs before reading, but I thought the heavier topics were covered respectfully.

All content is mild and the writer does it in a non triggering way that approaches the topics slowly
