I normally avoid romances and comedies. Nothing against them, just really not my genres. So I don't know what it is that compelled me to pick up a romantic comedy of all things. But I am so glad I did!
I could not put this book down. I was entirely hooked from the first sentence. The humor had me literally laughing out loud. Every single character is adorable, and if I could, I'd marry them all. I wish there had been more time spent with the party's rogue, Lila, but every moment we did get with her was gold, which explains why she constantly stole the scene.
And if you're looking for a queer book, this is a capital Q Queer book. If you loved the bisexual-free-for-all of Dragon Age 2, you'll love this. Multiple characters with multi-gender attractions, gender neutral characters, poly characters, a beautiful emphasis on found family....I really can't list how completely and wonderfully queer it is.
So many romance tropes are represented. Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Lovers, Insta-love, Opposites Attract, love pollen ("It wasn't a lust pollen!"), trapped together. Probably a lot more that I didn't pick up on because I don't read a lot of romance.
My favorite book of the year, hands down. Please do yourself a favor and read this book. You'll be so happy you did.
