"I feel like I've known him forever, like I was made to know him."

This book did a great job of balancing fun, lighthearted love and found family with serious topics such as workplace harassment and parental resentment/hatred/complicated relationship (so many ways to define it. The love was full of fun nerdy-ness that I found adorable and also full of vulnerability and rawness that I was appreciative of. This is my first book from this author but certainly not my last. I love a good nerdy hero and this being a nerdy fmc AND mmc made it that much better!

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
