This is a very sweet book about finding love at unexpected and challenging times, finding the courage to trust again and leap for a chance at happiness.

It has several bits that are well loved on contemporary romances:
- Disability representation (FMC and MMC)
- MMC is a tall and nerd cinnamon role
- Found family
- Forced proximity
- Spice and praise

I've found the beginning and middle of the story very strong.
My favorite parts were the interactions between Win and Bo and I wished we had more of them. I believe it would have benefited the story, as it could have shown a bit more pinning from Bo.

“I'm not sure how to pace myself here. How to slow down so you can catch up,” he whispers.

The story has a lot of internal discussions and dialogue which, due to Win insecurities, made me loose a bit of interest along the way, hence the rating.
