I'm rating on a curve with this one because I had some issues with how it's written, but it's the sweetest and I love how it puts the importance of communication and finding your own definition of what makes you happy on the forefront.
Poor Declan has so many issues and his friends don't really help when they always make his first introduction to people a poke at the source of those issues. And Sidney is a bit of an enigma that never quite gelled for me, but served as the perfect foil for Declan's neuroses.
In the end, it was more the overall message and Declan and his crazy friends that won me instead of the romance. Not exactly the best endorsement for a romance story, but trust me when I say that it's worth it just to see how well Ripper sets up a message of accepting yourself and being open to communicating your feelings.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Carina Press for the early read.
