This was a really sweet romance. Cute, light and yummy, but also with some flaws.

The protagonists, Mikey and George were absolute sweethearts. Mikey hasn't had any luck with his previous boyfriends, while George was still mourning his husband, so when they first met, although Mikey was immediately interested in George, the latter wasn't yet ready to date. The saw each other daily and they became a constant in each other's lives, and I liked seeing their friendship grow.

Fact was, the way things changed between them, going beyond friendship, didn't really convince me. An impromptu steamy video call happened, but they chose to put their desire on the back burner and dated other people, to kind of fall in bed together at some point. After that, to me they seemed more like teenagers ridden by hormones rather than adults building on their emotions connection. Also, Mikey went from being happy with his life to doubting his self worth compared to George's accomplishments, at least it felt that way to me. And, I could never shake the feeling that George was less invested in their relationship than Mikey was.

Even though I ended up that tiny bit not assured of their romance, I loved Mikey and George to bits because they were amazing men. I'm thrilled they'd found each other and that they were happy, and the two of them together with the secondary characters kept a smile plastered on my face from the first page to the last one of the story.
