Henri Vasel has perfected the art of people pleasing. He’s a good student, a fair hockey player, and he has a group of friends he’d do anything for. He’s happy. Or, rather, as happy as he can be when he has a class with the one person he can’t seem to please at South Carolina University.
Atlas Kaiser hates a lot of things, but right now he hates Henri Vasel the most. He doesn’t want to have to stare at his perfect face, or listen to his adorable German accent. He wants to be left alone. Unfortunately, they’re partnered together for the semester so he’ll have to grit his teeth and try to make it work.
Animosity morphs into a tentative friendship, which eventually leads to more. But while Atlas doesn’t trust their budding relationship, Henri wants more.

I adore Henri, and just want to give this giant marshmallow a squish… I couldn’t connect with him and Atlas as a couple.
Henri is so sweet and kind, a cinnamon roll golden retriever. Everything that is cute and wonderful.
Atlas is rude, giving standoffish black cat. Eventually we understand his motives, but I didn’t enjoy him for most of this story.
It’s explained that Henri is on the asexual spectrum, but Atlas isn’t. Not that is a reason they can’t be together but I generally only see them as “happy for now”.
Even in the epilogue, Henri had a ring ready for 2 years but didn’t propose because he didn’t know if Atlas was ready or was all in. After 5 years being together!!!! You should know if you’re all in with your partner after that long.
I absolutely love this series and am growing to love this author, but Henri and seeing previous couples in this universe were the only things I liked.
