This was an MMM friends-to-lovers, and opposites attract romance. This story was cute and sweet, and I smiled while reading. This story dealt with the theme of self-discovery, and the development of the relationship was well written. While the story is MMM, one aspect of the relationship is solely romantic, while two of the MCs are sexually involved with each other. This slow burn made sense for this throuple because it took all three MCs time to adjust to their relationship. I enjoyed getting to know Auggie, Emory, and Casey, and the choice of multiple POVs in the first person made sense for this story.

All the characters had layers to explore past the stereotypes Emory loved to use to refer to each of them. Emory's love of American teen movies had him frequently comparing all of them to the stereotypes of nerd, jock, and cool guy.

I liked the way that Casey's asexuality is portrayed because following his thoughts was really engaging and helped me understand his character. Emory and Auggie supported Casey, which was amazing to read. They had open and honest conversations, no pressure, and no one's boundaries were violated, which was sweet.

I received a free copy of this book via GBP and am voluntarily leaving a review.
