This story is so sweet and angsty…all in a good way. Although these characters are round about 30 years old, there is still such an innocence to Declan. And while Sidney seems quite wise beyond their years, there’s still a sort of naiveté to them, too.

From the moment Declan and Sidney are introduced, there’s a wonderful chemistry between them. But Declan blundered a very important relationship many years ago and doesn’t have much confidence in himself to be able to hold a serious relationship without hurting the other person. Sidney is just frustrated with people not understanding them and has given up on dating altogether. Their perfectly content to give advice on romance and dating on their YouTube show.

Watching these two fumble their way into a relationship is very endearing and quite satisfying. They have grown up intentions that take the most wholesome and delightful path because of their insecurities and lack of experience over the last few years. It’s truly a joy!

Declan overthinks everything. And I truly mean everything. This was one of those books that I had a hard time reading the end because at a certain point I could see where Declan’s mind was going and I didn’t want to watch him or Sidney go through the heartache that was sure to happen. That’s how invested I got into this couple.

The friend group Declan has, in which Sidney is invited before they even dip a toe in the relationship pool, is fun and supportive and amazing. I love their banter. The author did a great job in portraying the authenticity of this kind of deep and understanding friendship.

I’m sure I’ll pick up more by this author soon. I very much delighted in this story.
