I think I expected it to be more erotic than romantic, but it was a lovely romance novel for a relaxing weekend with low stakes and sweet characters.

A lot of the content warnings are genre-typical and/or occur off the page. Sexual content gets explicit but never lasts more than a couple pages.

This was THOROUGHLY enjoyable. The sheer TENSION between Will and Martin was unbelievable. I loved the conversations they shared, especially their pet names for one another. And Sebastian just knows how to write angst like no other. It makes the HEA all the more sweet. Also, the chronic illness rep in this book was so good, it was so nuanced and relatable. My one critique is that Sebastian didn’t write the reactions of the characters to their situations all too well in the first half. Where was the realisation for Will that he was in love with his best friend, and where was the shock and joy for Martin when they got together?

I think that their get together moment needed to be much more sudden and all-at-once, rather than easing into it as it what happened.

The friends-to-lovers trope could have been played up so much more if these reactions were recorded.

I loooooved this. It had every thing I like: only one bed, friends to lovers, small cast of characters, brothers, sweet sweet tenderness, believable stakes, and so much ooey gooey hurt/comfort that I clutched my heart and gasped aloud multiple times.

I think this may actually be the best book in the trilogy. I had issues with the first two, but this one was...different, for lack of other words. The pacing issues from the first two books were resolved, there was an appropriate amount of drama and stupidity, and overall I just enjoyed it. any issues I had were minor and tbh I can't think of what they were right now anyway, so...

though Martin has a terminal illness, he doesn't die - this is a romance novel with a happy ending.
