Oh my gosh this was simultaneously the cutest but also heart wrenching book I’ve read in a long time! Ben and Adam, you sweet cinnamon roll boys, you deserve every good thing in life! The author made these characters come to life and walked them through their trauma in a way that felt so real and honestly, validating. It is a relief to see them not only be honest about their trauma but own it and realize that it doesn’t make them any less worthy of love. That is the thing I think I hope so many people take from this book, yes it’s a super cute romance, but the lesson that comes with it is so invaluable. You are worthy of love dear reader, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
