Ate this up in one day and loved every second! Alexei and Ben are so cute! Honestly, they had me since the end of the first/start of the second chapter where Ben watches Alexei listen to a bird. How he just can't help but stare at him. (And personally I just relate to spacing out and listening to birds instead of following the conversation - but if someone I find attractive did have more knowledge about birds than me, I'd probably also fall for him)
I loved their conversations, their silence, that they actually got to know each other really well and always treated the other with respect and I also love that the book did not shy away from showing that you might need some time alone to figure out stuff, even though you just fell in love.
I would've liked to know more about Robbie, but also liked the choice to not share everything that happened there.
Overall I have nothing bad to say and I melted several times and nearly cried once.

This was so heartfelt and adorable. Alexei and Ben are so soft and tender with one another that I couldn't stop smiling while reading.
