A great addition to the Sara and Tegan's story! I really love the illustrations and colours!! It's such a heart warming story of them trying to balance their dreams and reality!! I hope there is another book in the series!

Okay minus the one little blip with a third of the book left, I actually really enjoyed this book! I loved the setting and town! I appreciate the quaintness of it all!! It was just cozy and warm with a hint of spice and I am thrilled to be diving into more of the character's stories !!

God this was  so close to getting a 4 star, but the ending of the break up really just.... yeah it was going so well and they were communicating about EVERYTHING else through the entire book! The smut was actually delicious and the characters were really wonderful! The audiobook was also enjoyable. If that third act blip didn't happen, I would have been much happier!!

A choppy overall story that touches on a lot of heavier topics. The illustrations are stunning though and really help tell the story! I was really wanting more though.... or at least an epilogue to wrap up some of the many lose ends !

Gosh this was something.  But I had some big hang ups! One: Why did she have to say his full name all the time ??? Like is was beyond repetitive!!! AND annoying!! Two: He was really ready to throw all of this away for diaries of a teenage gril! Three: Why MISCOMMUNICATION?? WHY Couldn't she say anything about it!! It was a dark secret !!! Also AGAIN with the third act break up.... just  really getting old of that trope!!

The time it took me to read this book doesn't reflect my enjoyment of it! Because I really did love the multiple POV and characters growth! Feral Santi was an absolute delight! I do wish it had been a little quicker pace, but still a solid entry into this series!

This was cute and adorable ! I really enjoyed this little Novella! It was a really nice balance of spice and story!! I enjoyed how nerdy this was and the gaming elements was a fun new sitting! But yes... if you are wondering... Jesse is described just like our other heros in the STEM romance books !
