The more I read from Gibson, the more I fall in love with their way of writing. I love how character-driven this story is as Moira and Rhys face the challenges that come with married life. It is so rare that readers are treated to stories of domesticity between established couples so it was a real treat to get a whole novella where that is exactly the story that is being told. Gibson writes in a way that makes it clear that these characters have so much love and devotion to one another. I think all alloromantic readers will be able to relate deeply to the big feelings that are being explored with this story and especially will connect with the duality of almost feeling like you love someone too much and that creating a rift in the relationship.

By the end of this story, I found myself a little bit weepy. This was the kind of tears that come from beauty, I just really loved that Moira and Rhys had genuine interest and excitement in the things that brought each other joy. This is a book full of very swoony moments and it just makes me so excited that we have several more books featuring these characters to look forward to in the future.
