Dear Bartleby

Like a warm hug, this is the lovely story of strangers to friends to lovers between Seb, the prankster troublemaker and youngest in the family sent to live with his older brother and his husband (the MCs of book 1), and Laurence, the sweetest trans man whom Seb meets through his new job. I can't praise this magical world enough - the gradual progression of these two's relationship, Seb's beautiful growth into himself, and his beautiful friendship with Pip (introduced in book 2 then getting his own story in book 3) only scratch the surface.

I've said this many times already, but I love this universe, the characters, and the return to the first book's epistolary format (this time in the form of journal entries). To say I'm grateful for these fictional worlds to escape into would be the understatement of the century.
