Gamer nerd and queer representation ftw! Also both main characters are around 50 years old. This romance book was one of the best I've read ever. The topics that were addressed were poignant and emotional. Divorce, coming out, self discovery, social pressures, and familial connections. This book was chock full of hilarious gaming references and the MMC is an anime nerd. It was heartwarming and the love story is true to life! This feels like it could actually happen. I'm so impressed!
