Oh stop it, Julian Winters, this was adorable. I'm giddy and kicking my feet with how wonderful this was. There were a lot of amazing and meaningful interactions between Denz and his family/friends. I also think the flashbacks were helpful in establishing their previous relationship rather than just having exposition explain it to us. It makes it more believable as a second chance romance, along with giving context to the current timeline.

I really enjoyed both Denz and Braylon as characters. I'd say the only really unbelievable thing was that he would pick up an accent from only living in London for three or four years. I can understand picking up some wording here and there, but going full British accent along with the food choices and the slang seems a little bit far-fetched. I didn't mind hearing the accent from the narrator (who did an amazing job!)--but that is probably a personal preference from watching a lot of British media. Not everyone might be able to suspend that disbelief.

This was a great read for the end of really long January. I'm glad I picked it on a whim after seeing the great cover!
