I think this one just wasn’t for me. Maybe listening to it on audiobook was distracting, as there are three different narrators. I also didn’t love the chapters where we jumped around to other characters. This issue could have also been that I read this because someone recommended it after I asked for romance novel recs, and I think romance isn’t the driving force here. Overall it was sweet and sad.

I had to take breaks reading this book, but was so glad I finished it. What a beautiful story that had me sobbing by the end.

I love a good gay romance but this one felt so forced. I did not feel any romance before the playground. It was still an interesting book but did not like the ending. Rufus’s death was disappointing.
