the reylo fanfic to traditionally published romcom just does it for me!! 

i'm on my hands and knees for gwen and xander and their nerd flirting via string instruments!! they are truly the hottest (and horniest) classical musicians to ever grace the pages of a romance novel. and the cello scene??? can confirm is epic. 

i loved that we got to know gwen and xander beyond just their relationship with each other and it just made me connect even more with them and their love story. 

also, i know this may be hasty, but out of all the kylo ren mmcs that i've read about, xander is the most kylo ren mmc that has ever lived and i just want one just like him! be prepared to want to love him and protect him forever! 

the only thing for me is that the pacing was a little off for me in the first 30% of the book, and the ending felt a little rushed and leaned a little cheesy for my taste.

overall, julie soto has a fan for life!! so looking forward to her future novels

thank you forever publishing and netgalley for this earc, it comes out 7/16!!
