Declan is not great at romantic relationships. Haunted by the choice he made to leave his best friend and fiancé at the altar, Declan has chosen to forgo dating in favor of casual hookups. But now he's considering giving dating a chance but doesn't know how to start.

Enter Sidney, a new arrival in town and the host of a YouTube channel that offers advice to viewers. Sidney wants to start up a new program called The Love Study in which real life dating advice is shared. Declan, intrigued by the idea, decides to go for it: he'll go on dates that Sidney sets up and report back.

With dates varying from good to bad to exceptional, Declan relearns what he's always known -- dating is hard! But he also learns that he's attracted to Sidney, even though Sidney has said that they are not interested in dating. Will their real life chemistry and growing friendship be enough to convince Sidney to give Declan a try?

I really enjoyed this book! Declan is an anxious and self-deprecating character who truly wants to do the right thing even though he sometimes messes it all up. Sidney is patient and kind and really does offer the best advice. It was delightful to read their journey and all their banter! One of my favorite parts of the book is that Sidney is nonbinary. As someone who is also nonbinary, it's not often that I get to encounter nonbinary characters in general, let alone as love interests, and I thought the portrayal was really well done. I also enjoyed Declan's diverse and eclectic group of queer friends. Altogether this was a fun, low angst, quick read that left me feeling happy and satisfied.
