This was a fun read!

I think what I liked most about the story was Davin - hands down. I liked how, over the course of the story, he learned to open up and let some happiness, colour, and even over-the-top peppy goodness (in short: Avery) into his life.
I also like how the author plays with various rom-com clichés and blatantly and unapologetically hits the reader over the head with them. :)
What didn't work for me was Davin breaking the 4th wall - that would have worked better with a visual medium like comics/graphic novels or movies IMO.

Overall, an enjoyable read.
4/5 stars
(I'd give the first 70% (or so) of the story 4.5 stars, it kind of fizzled out for me after that to more of a 3.5 star rating.)
