I didn’t really like the first one at all, so I am surprised at how much I like this one. Honestly a great example of writing a couple with the chemistry still together years into the relationship. I also love seeing everyone being gay its like a real queer friend group. Rarely is it ever one and done. Genuinely so surprised with how much better this one feels

part of the issue w this series is a whole is that you don’t really feel the stakes that the characters talk about. like they’ve just been outed accidentally and I mostly feel relieved. maybe that’s part of the intention but there’s been like 4 books building up to this and how awful it would be. rivalry where?
