I just finished this book and.... wow!
Okay, so going into this one I had no knowledge except I absolutely adored the cover and have read one of the authors' other books 'The Unhoneymooners' (4 stars, good for a hetero romance).
This book had such an unpredictable plot, usually with romances I can tell how they'll end, but not this one! I had never heard of the terms LDS or Mormon before, so that religion was interesting to learn about. Being a romance-centred book, we don't really receive anything else but events that matter in Tanner and Sebastian's relationship. I like how Tanner's feelings were immediately reciprocated, without any slow burn. We don't get to see that enough in romances.
Tanner was such a sweet protagonist, and Sebastian was such a deep character. Both had their flaws, which added to how much I enjoyed reading about them. Autumn was such a great character, but I wish we'd known more about Tanner's other friends such as Manny. Tanner's parents were so supportive of his bisexuality, it was so lovely!
Overall, a great YA romance!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨️ 4.5/5 stars!
