I really enjoyed this book! 

It has great banter, great representation, and a large family full of siblings whose stories I will eagerly await! 

Nic and Josh have great black cat/golden retriever energy and I loved them together 

This is a very impressive debut and I look forward to reading more in this series (and from this author)!

This book had a slow start, but once it picked up, I couldn't put it down. The characters are endearing, lovable, and relatable, making it a delightful one-sitting read. I'm eagerly anticipating more from this author, as the emotional rollercoaster and the slow burn kept me hooked. The first kiss even gave me butterflies, and I couldn't help but audibly squeal. It's a heartfelt story that strikes the perfect balance between cheesy and genuinely touching.

I can’t believe this is a debut! I loved every bit of Nic and Josh’s story. This book is such a gift.

For the folks like me that love queer and neurodivergent romcoms a la Chloe Liese and Mazey Eddings, this is for us!!!!
