Overall: 3.5 stars.
First half: 4-5 stars.
Second half: 3 stars.
The first half had such a sweet, slowburning love that almost sneaks up on Daniel. The way the prologue hints at future struggles makes Daniel's feelings even sweeter. The narration is almost poetic.
After the incident, I wish they would communicate with each other.

Oh boy did this hit the spot. Short and sweet, but perfect in its brevity; no unneeded story elements.
And it's Free at the moment... Thank you Crystel!

Oh i dont know what i expected going into this book, but it was different and i enjoyed it a lot. Very sweet story, with interesting writing style that rather grew on me. The story is told entirely in first person from Daniels pov, except for the epilogue which is from Mathias Pov.
In a lot of ways i loved how this was first person and the chapter layout as seemed fitting to the story. Almost reads like a journal as starts on new years eve then takes back to their first meeting and various moments of their relationship development, leading up to new years eve.
Seeing Daniel fall in love was beautiful and could really feel all his emotions, as he gets to know Mathias and see him in a new light. Its so sweet! These two fit together wonderfully and neither of them is perfect, both are flawed and i loved seeing that so much. Get to see how they explore together and Daniel is wonderful, i did love how he looked over his feelings and affect on his work.
They both try to do the right thing and yet some micommunication in places, luckily its not for long and i adore their happy ending.
Also the epilogue is perfection and i wish had got some of Mathias pov throughout, as would have allowed to see his feelings more as until then i definitely saw the situation similar to Daniel. But then i guess it works that way as go on journey with Daniel and see through his eyes, fall for him through his interactions and observations of Mathias so i loved them both anyway.
Overall a fun, sweet and short read with plenty of steam to enjoy too! Xx

I loved it
I definitely love a cute romantic book. I am still trying KU and I found the summary interesting. Well this book sucked me in immediately! I so wanted to know what would happen with Mathias and Daniel. I enjoyed their relationship so much.
