I *LOVE* Cat Sebastian's Cabot books 💕 They fill me with such genuine warmth and joy, and they make me so giddy. Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots is funny, heartfelt, and wonderful, just like the other books in the series, and it left me feeling so utterly delighted 🥰
I adore a "best friends who everyone already thinks are together-to-lovers" book, and Daniel and Alex are just that! There's something so natural and easy about their friendship and relationship, and though they have to put in an effort to make it work, they just fit together perfectly.
Daniel Cabot is set a bit later than the previous two books - we're in 1973 in this one, but if you've read the first books, you'll be able to guess who makes a few appearances in this book ❤️
Just, gah, this book is fantastic!! It has wonderful characters, fantatic relationship development, and excellent autism rep.
I highlighted A LOT during my read lol. Some of my fave quotes:
✨️"And then there was Alex—the fact of him, the way Daniel shaped his days around a space that Alex might sometimes occupy, the predictable rhythm of Alex’s routine the heartbeat of Daniel’s life. They weren’t a couple, but they were a pair, and Daniel couldn’t imagine dating someone when he had Alex."
✨️"His biceps were thick, his shoulders broad. Shoveling, he thought inanely. More men should shovel things."
✨️"I missed you like crazy." They had spoken on the phone, but it obviously wasn’t the same. "I’m so tired of talking to people who aren’t you."
✨️"Daniel Cabot didn’t believe in love at first sight. He refused to be the type of person who believed in love at first sight, and after all, he didn’t really love Alex from the moment they met or anything. It was maybe half an hour later, when Alex cut up his burger."
✨️"I don’t think we’re done talking,” Daniel said, calm but insistent.
“I’m done!” Alex opened the door, then held it open for Daniel, who mumbled “Thanks,” because apparently they were both incapable of fighting like normal people"
