Unfortunately, I did not fall in love with this book as much as I was hoping I would. On paper, it's everything I would have loved. Queer, grumpy x sunshine, fake dating, etc but there was something off to me that I can't exactly pinpoint. It was still an enjoyable read! There were a lot of really cute moments, but ultimately I think it came down to me not liking Sheldon's characters as much as I know I should have or wanted to. He felt a little overwhelming at times and while I understand that was the point of his character it was hard for me to get through some parts of the book. Though I understand that's completely on me and that I'm not the target audience for this necessarily. Which is why I would still totally recommend the book to others! 
I did really like Theo and I adore all the representation we got from his character! That was fantastic to read. I think reading his chapters was my favorite. I would still love to read the author's other books as I have hope I will enjoy them more.
