Friends-to-lovers will always be a superior trope for me. Tie in second-chance romance, a hot former baseball-playing MMC, and nerdy sci-fi fanfic? I'm in it! This was a buddy read with a friend on TikTok, and this book was much spicier than I anticipated (I'm a no-spice-preferred reader), but it was a good time all around.
I really enjoyed both of our main characters. Their stories and motivations were easy to relate to and get caught up in. The discussions on mental health, family relationships, sexuality, and pursuing "dream" careers were poignant and added some depth to the book. There were a few things that came out of left field and the kind of story arc you can expect from most romcoms. It was a quick read too! A perfectly good romance!
