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.

(m/m, regency). These are indeed “the two stupidest boys you’ve ever seen”. I still love how this book ties to the other Sedgwick books, like, you can have a little Hartley/Sam, as a treat. The treatment of the trauma experienced by both MCs is excellent, framing it through the present without flashbacks/dwelling while allowing it to shape their lived realities. The embodiment of treating mental health with as much care and seriousness as physical is also ideal.
