wahhhh I’ve seen people rave about this book & it’s so worth the hype! The exact right amount of angst & one of my favorite kinds, where they’re mutually pining and it’s sooo obvious that they’re much more serious than they’re pretending to be. I loved the pacing of this book and their relationship. I feel like it will be a comfort audiobook for me — it’s got great emotion but also isn’t too heavy or sad. I loved watching them fall together in every way possible. Audiobook narrators did a good job too!

Sometimes the dialogue got a smidge on my nerves, a little too bro-y in the casual engrained-sexism kind of way. I think at one point there was a variation of the r-slur which was uncomfortable (I say "I think" because I'm writing this after finishing the second book, and I know for a fact it happened, but can't remember which book it happened in).
