I adored this cosy M/M romance, you can feel the love for these characters jumping off the page. It had swoony moments, hilarious encounters, awkward interruptions, lots of delightful wit, a touch of spice, and some tragic reveals.
It had me giggling at Alex's antics, and his fumbling attempts at hiding his crush on Nate, as well as his inner monologue addressing his doubts, meddling family, fears and expectations as a parent, and conflicted desires.
The mature characters felt relatable and genuine, and I loved seeing their connection grow.
Rory is the sweetest child too, full of energy, curious, mischievous, and adorably accepting of everything in his life which was heartwarming.
I enjoyed the reveals dotted throughout that added to the drama and tension, and seeing Alex gain the courage to stand up for himself.
The theme of the school fête bringing them together was cosy and sweet, and helped them to connect and learn about each other's passions and embrace their feelings.
This is the cosy summer romance you need to read.
