3.5/5. This was a cute, sweet read. I'd been looking forward to getting to know Austin since he's popped up behind that coffee cart in all the other books. I love that he's a big romance reader and so shy. Honestly, so relatable. I like Dex's confidence and kindness. Their friendship really is so sweet and strong. It was fun to see these two realize they love each other more than as just friends. I just wish there was a little more communication or maybe a little more going on. It was a cute little read, but I don't feel a lot happened.
