This was a fun read! I could nitpick characterization, or feeling like problems were too easily solved, or the romance plot device that is the bane of my existence:

the third act break up

. But this was a fun read!! And ultimately I don't care about that stuff (ok that's a lie, I care a lot about that last one, but I have accepted it as part of the genre). The characters had such great chemistry and I loved Brendon's love of love and I also feel Annie in her opinion that romance is dead. I listened to this on audiobook in the car, and found myself wishing traffic was a little bit worse on my commute home so I could listen to this book a little bit longer. Will definitely be checking out the third book ASAP.

Now, I love that Annie is bi, but I literally missed this information when I was reading and only know she's bi because I saw someone on here say it's only mentioned once in passing. I think a relationship between one bi character and one straight character is totally awesome and definitely counts as queer, because someone's bisexuality doesn't just go away depending on who they're dating, but since this was marketed as a queer romance I wish there was just a little more reference to her queerness. It doesn't need to be a lot, but I entirely missed that Annie even was queer and had been starting to think this was only called a queer romance due to the main characters' proximity to lesbians.
