This is a great book let down only by its ending - until the final 20-ish pages, it's heartfelt, incredibly funny, and has immensely charming characters. It's a wonderful sequel that builds on existing characters in interesting ways. It's a good, simple queer rom com.
Oliver in particular shines through in this book, with all his flaws and virtues. The only thing that really didn't work for me was the ending - not for the writing decision made, but for the way it was paced. It felt rushed enough that it didn't quite work for me, souring an otherwise amazing book. It's still really good, though!
