I finally read this haha. I thought it was very cute and quick to read, but there were a lot of elements or tropes that I usually try to avoid in queer media. I hope those things will lessen as I continue the series, so I'm not too mad about it. I also just prefer adult romance, and usually I prefer an edgier or gritter atmosphere to my books, romance or not.
