Cute as Cats

Really sweet and wholesome. Gay guy + pan deaf pudding chef meet at a cat cafe. It's very fluffy(both cats and relationship wise). The awkwardness when Zu finds out Kiitan is deaf is so real.

The sex scene felt a bit out of place because the vibe of the story is supposed to be an endearing meetcute and sex is definitely more of an intense, passionate thing. It was also kind of insta-love and insta-lust but it's a short story, how else would you fit in the romance?

Bonus points for the disability rep!

Just finished reading this book and it totally gave me young-adult vibes! The love story between Zu and Kiitan was just too sweet, almost like a spoonful of sugar. But then there were these spicy scenes that felt a bit out of place. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against a little spice, but it seemed a bit extra in this case.

The setting? Oh, it was as cozy as a warm blanket on a chilly night. This book was all about those snuggle-up-and-read vibes.

Big thanks to GRR for the advance copy. Just sharing my honest thoughts here!
