I'm not even sorry. I am giving it 5 ⭐️ .
I don't care I sometimes got lost or confused by the politics.
I don't care the third person writing made me lose my goddamned mind half of the time.
I don't care. I really. do. not. care.
It's all worth the 5 stars. You know why?
Because Alex and Henry's story was one of the most beautiful I've ever read.
Because Alex discovering his sexuality was as funny to read as it made me feel stressed and confused right along with him.
Because the way Alex describes feeling everything that happens was as confusing as it was relatable.
And because those emails. THOSE EMAILS. GOD.
I won't be able to forget those emails.
And lastly, I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry if you didn't enjoy this book the way I did.
Because, honestly? This has to be one of the most beautiful experiences I had while reading a book.
And I hope it's one I get to relieve in the future in other books.

A light, sweet and enjoyable read.
I liked the characters and representation of different sexualities. Alex and Henry’s characters have a lot of chemistry and they have development throughout the book.
The parts I didn’t like so much:
I couldn’t understand why this book was written in the 3rd person. Most of the book is from Alex’s POV anyway, so why not just make Alex the narrator? I feel like this way I would’ve been able to see more depth to his character and maybe Henry’s as well.
This is a very personal preference but the way the intimate scenes were written was driving me nuts. It was like the author wanted the scene to be explicit AND “close door” at the same time and it just didn’t work for me. But again, that’s just a very personal opinion, I know many people don’t like “spicy” scenes.
Finally, the book is at times way too idealistic, although that’s hardly a complaint because I read romance to escape reality lol.
Overall I enjoyed this book a lot, I can totally see what the hype is about and I always love to see bisexual representation in stories.
